About This Ravar
Where it comes from
A Ravar, known in the trade as Lavar Kerman, 237 x 168 cm (7'9" x 5'6"), from the small town near Kerman that has supplied Persia's finest city weaving since the Qajar era. Ravar pieces were often signed by the weaver or the patron who commissioned them, which is one reason they remain sought after as traceable heirlooms rather than anonymous production. What they are known for above all is precision: a central medallion drawn with real discipline, set against balanced corner fillings and a border worked with equal care.
What you see
The eye goes first to the field, a warm ivory ground on which a sunburst medallion sits in bold relief, its rays reaching out into dense floral sprays that fill the space around it without crowding the drawing. In the corners, spandrels carry blue paisley forms nested among the florals, clearly enough drawn to read as their own motif rather than a variation on the field. All of this sits inside a wide navy border, itself filled edge to edge with floral vine and blossom, taking up close to a fifth of the rug's width and giving the ivory field a firm, dark frame to glow against.
How it was made
This density of drawing is exactly what Ravar weaving is prized for, and it comes from a knot count of 321,000 to 380,000 per square metre, tied over a cotton warp — fine enough work that the sunburst's rays and the paisley outlines hold their shape rather than blurring at the edges. The pile itself is hand-spun wool, clipped to 12 millimetres, and it is this that keeps the rug from looking hard or glassy despite the precision of its pattern: hand-spun fibre varies slightly in thickness along its length, so light sits on it as a soft matte glow rather than a sheen.
At home
A rug of this size suits a dining table or a seating group in a living or dining room, and it is substantial enough to anchor either without disappearing under furniture. The ivory field will lift a room that leans dark or neutral, while the navy border gives it enough weight to hold its own against darker wood or upholstery. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a wool this tightly and evenly knotted is built to be walked on rather than kept for best, and as the light moves across the room over the day, it is the sunburst medallion that keeps catching it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 237 × 168 cm (3.98 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 3.98 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 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.
