About This Ravar
Where it comes from
A Persian medallion rug from Ravar, a small town near Kerman known in the trade as Lavar Kerman, measuring 242 x 196 cm (7'11" x 6'5"). Since the Qajar era this weaving has been prized for its fine drawing and its balance of central medallion, elaborate border and corner fillings, and pieces of this quality were often signed by the weaver, making them traceable heirlooms rather than anonymous stock. What sets this particular rug apart is its field: a deep midnight blue, almost black, in place of the warm red more usually associated with the type.
What you see
The first impression is of a cream sunburst medallion, its core radiating outward, glowing against that near-black ground. Around it the field is dense with floral sprays in salmon-pink and dusty rose, set among blue-grey leaves and touches of mustard gold. Four paisley pendants sit in the corners, echoing the medallion's shape into the corners of the field. The whole is held by a cream cartouche border of fine floral lattice, framing a wide band of blue ground carrying a continuous botteh and paisley repeat, with a narrow camel-tan botteh guard stripe completing the design; together the borders take up close to a fifth of the rug.
How it was made
This is a hand-knotted rug, its cotton warp carrying a pile of hand-spun wool, at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre. Hand-spun wool takes dye with slight variation along its length, which is what keeps that dark field alive rather than flat; light catches it unevenly, so the blue shifts in tone as you move around the room. The knot density is fine enough to carry the sunburst's radiating lines cleanly, and at 12 mm the pile stays short enough for the drawing to stay sharp underfoot.
At home
A rug this size sits well under a dining table or in front of a sofa group, in a dining room or a living room with room to stand back from it. Against a pale floor the dark field grounds the space; against darker furniture it holds its own rather than disappearing into it, with the cream medallion doing the work of drawing the eye in. The wool pile is dense and firm underfoot, built for a room that gets used. As the light in the room moves through the day, the sunburst at its centre is what keeps catching it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 242 × 196 cm (4.74 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 4.74 m² that is roughly 1.0 to 1.2 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.
