Antique Persian Kerman Pictorial Calligraphy Square Coral Scatter Rug

Antique Kerman - Lavar Square Scatter Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional pictorial textile from the Kerman region of Persia is a testament to the technical mastery of the Lavar workshops. Unlike typical medallion designs, this square piece centers on a striking portrait of a Qajar-era figure, a rare and highly sought-after motif among Kerman rugs. The central figure is framed within a rich, deep coral medallion, which contrasts sharply with the densely woven, light-toned field. The entire surface is covered in intricate vine work and complex floral patterns, characteristic of the finest Persian weaving traditions. The dominant hue throughout the design is a vibrant, saturated tone often categorized among coral color rugs. Woven during the early 1900s, this piece reflects the high demand for decorative and narrative textiles during the late Qajar dynasty.
