About This Ravar
Where it comes from
Ravar, often traded as Lavar Kerman, is one of the classic city workshops of Persian carpet weaving, based in a small town near Kerman that has produced some of the country's finest pieces since the Qajar era. This example measures 243 x 153 cm (7'11" x 5'0"), a size suited to a considered spot in a home rather than a grand hall. The type is prized for its fine drawing, its restrained colour, and a composition that balances a central medallion against elaborate borders and corner fillings.
What you see
Here that balance takes an unusually open form. A warm ivory field carries an elongated medallion, a lozenge rather than the more familiar round or diamond shape, flanked by two smaller pendant motifs that repeat its outline. Around it, floral sprays in brick red, terracotta and touches of mustard and olive are scattered rather than packed, leaving real space between them. A broad navy border, dense with floral scrollwork and small cartouche medallions, closes the design firmly against all that pale ground.
How it was made
That openness is a choice, and it is one that only fine knotting can carry off convincingly. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, the weaver could draw the medallion's lozenge outline and each floral spray with clean, exact edges rather than the softened approximation a coarser knot allows. A hand-spun wool pile, kept low at 12 mm on a cotton warp, holds that precision at the surface, giving the crisp motif edges and light, even sheen this piece is known for. With so much plain field around the pattern, there is nowhere for imprecise knotting to hide, and none is needed here.
At home
A rug of this size and temperament belongs in a living room, anchoring a seating group rather than disappearing under a large table. The ivory ground will lift a room with darker furniture and take on a gentle warmth against pale floors, while the navy border keeps the whole picture grounded. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a low pile built for daily use rather than display. As daylight moves across it through the day, the slight sheen in the wool shifts with it, and the medallion seems to float a little differently each time you look.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 243 × 153 cm (3.72 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 3.72 m² that is roughly 1.6 to 1.9 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.
