Imagine taking a stroll through a royal Persian garden, this is what it feels like to admire this antique Persian Lavar rug from the 1880s. In a grand, palatial size, it’s a true showstopper. Its stunning centerpiece, a gorgeous medallion, is surrounded by curvilinear floral patterns that flow gracefully in warm, inviting tones on an ivory ground. The intricate designs spill across every inch, with border bands that are just as finely detailed. It’s a feast for the eyes and a testament to exquisite craftsmanship.
Lavar rugs are known for their lush floral motifs, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Handwoven from vegetable dyed wool, it boasts a super fine weave and a low pile. Despite its age, it remains in good condition, with some scattered wear, truly a sign of a life well-lived. These rugs were highly sought after in Europe, and you’ll still spot them in grand interiors across the continent, adding a touch of sophistication.
Whether as a centerpiece or a complement to an opulent room, this rug brings history, beauty, and a sense of refinement to any space it calls home.
