About This Ravar
Where it comes from
A Ravar Kerman, 257 x 147 cm (8'5" x 4'10"), from the town of Ravar near Kerman in Iran, a source Persian carpet scholars single out when they mean the very finest of that region's work. Pieces from here were often signed by the weaver or the family who commissioned them, and it is this line of production, prized across Europe and America since the late nineteenth century, that gives the type its trade name, Lavar Kerman.
What you see
The field is a wide, unbroken ivory, and across it runs an elongated medallion built not as one central form but as three lozenges joined end to end, in brick red, navy and gold. Floral sprays in rose, salmon and forest green fill the ground around them, dense but never crowding the eye. A broad navy-blue border, edged with a light-blue guard stripe, closes the design firmly, its floral pattern holding the same restrained palette as the field within.
How it was made
That triple-lozenge medallion is a demanding thing to draw at this scale, and it is the knotting behind it that makes the fine outline possible: a density of 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, set on a cotton warp with a pile of hand-spun wool kept to 12 millimetres. Wool spun by hand, rather than machine, takes an uneven thickness that shows as a soft, living sheen across the florals rather than a flat one, and at this knot count the weaver could carry the lozenge chain and its surrounding sprays with a precision a coarser weave could not hold.
At home
A rug of this size settles well beside a bed or along a sofa, somewhere it is seen along its length rather than from one end, which suits the medallion's horizontal rhythm exactly. The ivory ground lifts a room with little natural light and holds its own against dark wood or navy furnishings alike, while the red and gold at its centre keep the eye moving gently along the floor rather than fixing on one point. Underfoot the pile is dense yet fine, firm enough for daily use and soft enough to be worth the walking. In low evening light the sheen on the florals catches first, and it is that quiet movement across the surface that stays with you.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 257 × 147 cm (3.78 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 3.78 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.
