About This Ravar
Where it comes from
This is a Ravar, sold in the trade as Lavar Kerman, from the Kerman region of Iran — the name collectors reach for first when they mean the finest of Persian city-workshop knotting. At 249 x 149 cm (8'2" x 4'11") it is a rug built for a room rather than a hall, in the balanced medallion format the workshop has been known for since the Qajar era.
What you see
The field is a warm ivory, and across it sits a bold octagonal medallion in deep red and sage green, flanked not by the usual pointed pendants but by two smaller lozenge medallions, one on each side. The three shapes read almost as a triptych, held together by sweeping floral garlands in dusty rose and mustard gold. A wide navy border carries the same florals in scrolling form, pink, red and gold against the dark ground, closed by a narrow red guard stripe against the ivory field.
How it was made
The pile is handspun wool, knotted by hand onto a cotton warp at a density of 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre — fine enough to hold the crisp floral outlines seen across medallion and border alike. Handspun yarn takes dye less evenly than machine-spun wool, which gives the rose and gold tones their soft, slightly varied depth rather than a flat colour. Kept low at 12 mm, the pile lets the triptych symmetry of the three medallions stay sharp rather than soften into depth.
At home
In a living room, laid before a sofa or beneath a low table, the ivory field lifts the room against dark furniture or a pale floor alike. The dense handspun wool feels crisp and firm underfoot, sturdy enough for daily use rather than a piece kept for show. As daylight moves across it, the sage and rose in the medallions catch a soft sheen, and it is the balance of the three shapes that keeps drawing the eye back.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 249 × 149 cm (3.71 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 3.71 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.
