Large Square Persian Rug / 9x9 Antique Persian Lavar Rug #3591ML

Regular price $7,200.00

This exquisite antique Persian Lavar rug shows off phenomenal art form and craftsmanship, from the 1880s. We take our hats off to this true masterpiece with its rare form of artistry and history, as it boasts a rare square shape, which are seldom found amongst antique rugs. If you've been hunting for a while for a squarely woven rug, you'll know first hand, they're not an easy find. 

This piece has detailed curvilinear design that draws the eye. Its floral motifs are woven with exceptional precision, creating a pattern that resembles a beautiful Venn diagram—each interlocking element beautifully presented.

Handwoven with tightly packed wool, this Lavar rug is a perfect example of the region's renowned craftsmanship. Originating from the southeastern pocket of Persia, Lavar rugs are famous for their high knot density, floral art and crispy details. The vegetable-dyed wool in this rug has aged gracefully, preserving its vibrant hues while giving it that sought-after patina that only comes with age.

The rug's stunning border frames the floral tapestry-like center, and it is clear why Lavar rugs are considered some of the most recognizable and cherished weavings in Persian history. The intricate floral art that covers this piece is delicate yet dynamic, representing the height of Persian design. 

Low pile, worn to perfection. This rug has some minor repairs, keeping its integrity and prolonging its life for generations to come. Please see detailed pics and video for full character and condition as shown and explained.
