About This Ravar
Where it comes from
A rug of the classical Persian medallion type, from Ravar, a small town near Kerman known in the trade as Lavar Kerman, measuring 253 x 177 cm (8'4" x 5'10"). Since the Qajar era these workshops have been named first when collectors speak of Kerman at its finest, prized for fine detail, restrained colour, and a medallion set within its borders with real balance rather than force.
What you see
The first impression is a field so densely worked in navy that it reads almost as black, covered edge to edge with small blossoms and serrated leaves in salmon-pink, dusty rose, ivory and sage. Only on a longer look does the oval medallion at the centre come forward, its ground drawn in the same pale, warm tone as the border rather than in a contrasting colour, so it settles into the pattern instead of announcing itself. The wide sandy-beige border, filled with its own pink and coral sprays and held by thin dark guard stripes, gives the piece its frame and, at roughly a fifth of the width, its quiet authority.
How it was made
This is what fine knotting is for: at 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, a weaver can draw a blossom or a serrated leaf small enough that hundreds sit across the field without blurring into each other, and can shade a medallion's edge so softly that it merges with the ground around it rather than cutting against it. The wool is hand-spun and knotted onto a cotton warp, and kept to a pile of just 12 mm, low enough to hold that fine drawing sharp underfoot rather than let it soften with depth.
At home
At this size the rug is made for a dining table or a seating group in a living room, and its dark ground holds its own against dark wood or pale oak alike, warming either with the pink and coral coming through the field. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a weave built for daily use rather than for standing aside from it. Move around it through the day and the medallion is never quite fixed, glowing a little more as the light shifts, then settling back into the field it never really left.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 253 × 177 cm (4.48 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 4.48 m² that is roughly 1.4 to 1.7 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
