About This Ravar
Where it comes from
This is a Ravar rug, known in the trade as Lavar Kerman, from the town near Kerman in southeastern Iran that produced some of Persia's finest weaving from the Qajar period onward. At 246 x 196 cm (8'1" x 6'5") it holds the classic scale for a Kerman medallion carpet, a type prized in Europe and America a century ago for fine detail and calm, balanced colour. Here that balance leans toward restraint.
What you see
The field is a deep aubergine-black, left almost bare, and against it a large scalloped medallion glows gold, its outline crisp, its two side pendants drawn with a slight, unmatched scroll rather than mirrored exactly. Rust, ochre, cream, sage and dusty blue gather within it in small, careful strokes. Around all this runs a wide rust-orange border, nearly a quarter of the rug's width, packed with floral clusters and small diamond medallions — dense where the field is spare, and the contrast between the two is the whole point of the piece.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, a density fine enough to let the weaver draw the medallion's curve as one clean line rather than a stepped approximation. Clipped to a low 12 millimetres and finished with a light sheen, the wool holds that crisp edge instead of softening it, which is why the gold medallion reads so clearly against the near-bare ground around it. Woven within the last two decades, it is a young rug, built for years of daily use rather than careful retirement.
At home
A rug of this size suits a dining table or a seating group in a living room, the dark field grounding a pale floor while the gold medallion and rust border keep the room from feeling too still. Underfoot the low, dense pile is firm and even, made to take daily traffic rather than sit apart from it. Walk through the room as the light shifts and the medallion keeps catching it, gold held against black.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 246 × 196 cm (4.82 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 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 4.82 m² that is roughly 2.1 to 2.4 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.
