About This Ravar
Where it comes from
This is a Ravar Kerman, also traded as Lavar Kerman, 245 x 152 cm (8'0" x 5'0"). Ravar, a small town near Kerman in southeastern Iran, has produced some of Persia's finest weaving since the Qajar era, sought after across Europe and America in its day. Ravar pieces were often signed by weaver or patron, and collectors still rank Ravar quality among the finest Kerman ever produced.
What you see
The ivory field draws the eye first, dense with fine floral vines that leave barely a plain space between them. At its centre sits an oval medallion holding a scene rather than the usual geometric device: a tree, its trunk touched with gold and brown, on a green ground with what appear to be small birds among the branches, and a pale wash of blue at its base suggesting water or sky. A wide navy-blue border, filled with small polychrome flowers, closes the composition and holds the ivory field firmly in place.
How it was made
The crisp outlines and the slight sheen in the medallion both come from how this rug was made. Hand-spun wool, knotted at 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre onto a cotton warp, is fine enough to draw a branch or a small bird without it blurring into the vines around it. Hand-spun yarn takes dye unevenly at a microscopic level, giving the tree its faint sheen rather than a flat one. A pile of just 12 millimetres keeps the whole scene sharp and close to the surface.
At home
Set this rug beside a sofa in a living room, or in a bedroom, where the ivory ground lifts a pale floor and the navy border holds its own against darker furniture. The wool is dense, low and firm underfoot, made for daily use rather than for standing back from. As daylight moves across it, the medallion's faint sheen catches, and the tree at its centre steps quietly forward.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 245 × 152 cm (3.72 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 3.72 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.4 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.
