Antique Kerman - Lavar Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the zenith of late 19th-century weaving from the region. Its intricate design and masterful execution mark it as a classic Iranian Persian textile, reflecting the sophisticated courtly traditions of the Qajar dynasty. The composition is dominated by a magnificent central medallion, densely populated with delicate floral sprays and boteh motifs.
