About This Ravar
Where it comes from
This is a Ravar Kerman, also known in the trade as Lavar Kerman, hand-knotted in the town of Ravar near Kerman in Persia, 250 x 193 cm (8'2" x 6'4"). Since the Qajar era these workshops have been named first when collectors talk of Kerman at its finest, prized for a calm balance of medallion, border and corner design. Here that balance takes an unusually bold turn.
What you see
The first impression is a field of deep black, not the plain ground a Kerman medallion usually sits on. The black itself is cut into a large scalloped shape, lobed at the edges, so the medallion is not laid onto the field but forms it. Within that shape a gold floral roundel opens outward in fine, almost embroidered detail. Around it runs a wide rust-red border, dense with gold and sage floral work, its guard stripes narrow, small notes of navy and dusty pink caught throughout.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, knotted at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, fine enough to let the weaver draw a curve as easily as a straight line. That fineness is what allows the medallion's scalloped edge to run smooth rather than stepped, and keeps the gold roundel's small florals distinct against the black. A pile kept to 12 millimetres holds the detail sharp, and a light sheen across the paler motifs lifts them from the matte depth of the field.
At home
This rug suits a dining table with space around it, or a seating group in a living room, generous enough for the whole medallion to be read at once. Black holds its own against dark wood, while the rust and gold border warms a paler floor. The wool is dense and short, firm underfoot. In the evening light, the gold and sage catch first, then settle back into the black.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 250 × 193 cm (4.83 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 4.83 m² that is roughly 2.1 to 2.4 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.
