About This Ravar

Where it comes from

This is a Ravar, the refined face of Kerman weaving from the town of Ravar near Kerman in Persia, sometimes traded as Lavar Kerman. At 169 x 112 cm (5'6" x 3'8") it is compact enough for a single spot in a home, drawn with the fine detail and quiet colour sense the town has been known for since the Qajar era.

What you see

The field opens in warm cream, scattered with small floral bouquets that never crowd the ground. At the centre sits a navy medallion with matching pendants above and below, so the eye runs straight through the middle of the rug rather than searching for it. Rosettes and cartouches fill a wide navy border, dense enough to hold its own against the pale field, taking up close to a fifth of the width. In the corners, a small run of diagonal stripes breaks quietly from the floral rhythm, a detail rather than a distraction.

How it was made

This rug is hand-knotted, in handspun wool over a cotton warp. Handspun wool takes up dye with small natural variations, which is part of why the reds and greens sit so gently rather than shouting the colour combination. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, the weaver could draw the border's cartouches and the field's small stems with real precision, and a pile kept to 12 millimetres keeps that drawing crisp rather than letting it blur into the wool.

At home

A rug this size suits a bedroom, laid beside the bed or under a chair in a quiet corner. The cream ground lifts a room with little daylight and holds its own against dark furniture without raising its voice. The low pile is smooth and slightly firm, suited to gentle rather than heavy use. Sunlight crossing the field catches the light gloss of the wool and warms the cream a shade further, the navy border staying steady beneath it.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 169 × 112 cm (1.89 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 1.89 m² that is roughly 380,000 to 470,000 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.
