This turn-of-the-20th-century Persian Lavar Kirman rug is a masterful expression of refined elegance and technical virtuosity. Woven with an all-over floral trellis pattern, it features large-scale blossoms and scrolling vines intertwined with a profusion of smaller flowers, creating a lush, tapestry-like effect. The composition is both orderly and organic, drawing the eye across the field in a gentle rhythm. The border is equally impressive—an intricate arrangement of wide and narrow floral-patterned stripes that beautifully frames the central design. Rendered in the traditional Kirman palette of indigo, pinks, creams, and violets, this rug also includes rare accents of green and orange, adding a unique vibrancy to the overall tone. Lavar Kirman rugs are celebrated for their fine weave, sophisticated designs, and harmonious colors. This example is no exception—an exquisite piece that reflects the artistry and aesthetic sensibility of one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers.
