About This Ravar
Where it comes from
A Ravar rug, known in the trade as Lavar Kerman, measuring 357 x 246 cm (11'9" x 8'1"). Ravar is a small town near Kerman in Iran, and since the Qajar era its weavers have produced some of the finest work associated with the wider Kerman tradition, prized for fine detail and a settled, harmonious palette. What sets this piece apart is how much room it leaves for itself: where Ravar florals are typically dense from edge to edge, this one breathes.
What you see
The first impression is a wide, open field in warm camel-beige, only lightly gilded with gold. A single oval medallion in navy holds the centre, packed with fine floral detail, while a handful of floral sprays in brick red, rose and sage float across the field around it, symmetrically placed but sparingly used. The border closes the composition with far greater density than the field it surrounds: multiple bands in navy and olive-green, thick with pink and red blossom clusters, taking up close to a fifth of the rug. The contrast between the quiet centre and the busy frame is the whole character of the piece.
How it was made
That contrast is a matter of where the knotting effort was spent. The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, hand-knotted at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, which is fine enough to render the medallion and border in real detail without the piece taking months longer at the loom than it already has. Rather than carrying that density across an all-over pattern, the weaver left the field largely plain, at a 12 mm pile height, so the sheen sits concentrated in the medallion and border and the open ground stays flat and calm.
At home
At this size the rug sits naturally under a dining table or in front of a living room sofa group, with enough field left bare that furniture legs never interrupt the pattern. The camel ground warms a pale floor without competing with darker wood or upholstery, and the navy medallion gives the room something to settle on. Underfoot it is fine and even, dense enough for daily use rather than a room kept for best. As daylight moves across it, the sheen catches first in the border, then in the medallion, while the field stays quietly still.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 357 × 246 cm (8.78 m²) this is a very large rug. It carries a whole seating group with every furniture leg on it, or a dining table with the chairs pushed back. In a small room it becomes the floor rather than a rug.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 8.78 m² that is roughly 3.9 to 4.4 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.
