Origin

The city of Kerman (also Kirman) lies in the south-east of Persia at around 2,000 metres above sea level. Kerman sits on the old caravan routes and looks back on centuries of tradition in both craft and trade. Kerman is mentioned in Marco Polo's travel account Il Milione. Rugs from Kerman are marked by fine patterns, flowing lines and soft gradations of colour. The classic patterns of the 19th century are often figurative. Hunting scenes and animals were depicted, as were mythological figures and historical personalities. The broad palette of Kerman rugs is enriched above all by its many shades of red, traditionally obtained from the cochineal insect.

This rug comes from the village of Levar near Kerman, yet it shows the pattern typical of Kerman rugs.

This old Kerman Lavar is around 96 years old and a true collector's piece.

Material

The pile of this old Kerman Lavar was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin content of the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Old Kerman Lavar are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and pliable, which makes it ideal for a hard-wearing foundation weave.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Old Kerman Lavar. It had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 96. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. Despite its age, it is therefore in very good condition.
