An antique Persian Lavar Kerman carpet, size 24'2" x 17'0".  This fine hand-knotted wool carpet emanates from the weaving region of Kerman in Persia, woven circa 1880, and represents the "Lavar" style of rug, an older, finer style of rug with short pile and fine articulation of design.  This carpet is characterized by a series of elegant medallions anchoring the primary field, couched within a dazzling mix of finely rendered floral motifs.  The outer border reciprocates the colors and eye catching floral patterns of the primary field, and expands upon it with additional cartouches bearing Persian text.  The end result is a magnificent carpet with a grand scale of design, composed of a stunning mix of larger and smaller floral elements, both centralized and decentralized, and displaying the incredible skill of master weavers from over 100 years ago.  In excellent condition.  100% wool pile on a cotton foundation.
