This breathtaking antique Persian Lavar Kermanshah rug is a true woven artifact, offering an incredible glimpse into the masterful artistry of 19th-century weaving. Dating back to the 1870s, this museum-quality piece features a grand, sweeping central medallion that radiates outward with incredibly intricate botanical vines, classic paisley (boteh) elements, and finely rendered floral palmettes. The dense, formal composition is a hallmark of Lavar weavers, renowned for their graceful, curvilinear designs and exceptional knot density.
Over a century and a half of history has graced this rug with a deeply authentic, time-worn patina. The original, rich dyes have beautifully oxidized and gently faded into a romantic, muted symphony of silver-grey, soft taupe, deep indigo, and antique madder red. The natural wear elegantly exposes the structural complexity of the foundation, yielding the highly coveted “erased” aesthetic that designers prize .
Cyrus is very knowledgeable and is familiar with every rug in his shop. We second guessed our impulse purchase and Cyrus shipped the other choice. We then shipped the first rug back and without any hesitation, he credited the overage$. It was fun shopping in store but I’d be comfortable shopping on line. I recommend stopping in when in the neighborhood. Beautiful hand made Persian Gabbeh. Area rug and runner. We’ll be back.
