About This Ravar

Where it comes from

This is a Ravar, often traded as a Lavar Kerman, a refined city-workshop weaving from the small town of Ravar near Kerman in Iran. Measuring 60 x 65 cm (2'0" x 2'2"), it is smaller than the format usually associated with the type, yet it carries the full vocabulary of Kerman design compressed into a single square.

What you see

The eye meets a deep navy field first, glowing warm where a red star-shaped medallion sits at its centre. Dense floral rosettes spread outward from the medallion in a circular silhouette, echoing its shape against the darker ground. A ring of cream, patterned with fine floral sprays in mustard, pink and pale blue, frames the medallion before the field gives way to a wide sage-green border of scrolling vines, closed by a thin cream-and-red guard stripe.

How it was made

The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted onto a cotton warp at a density of 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre, fine enough to let the weaver draw the small florals and sharp outlines in the medallion and spandrels without them blurring together. At only 12 mm, the pile stays low enough to hold that crispness underfoot. Along the right edge runs a woven signature cartouche from the workshop of Sherkat Farsh, marking the piece as a traceable heirloom rather than an anonymous production.

At home

A piece this size suits a study, a bedside table, or a small hallway console, seen close rather than from across a room. The navy grounds a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, while the red medallion glows even in low light. Densely knotted and only 12 mm deep, it feels firm and smooth underfoot, sturdy for daily use. In lamplight, the wool takes on a soft sheen and the jewel tones seem to glow from within.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 60 × 65 cm (0.39 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.

Is this rug hand-knotted?

Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre; across 0.39 m² that is roughly 100,000 to 120,000 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.
