Here she is: a palatial 1880s Persian Lavar, measuring an impressive 11x20 and blooming with floral art from end to end. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool and worn to show she’s lived a little — this is a storied rug with lots of love and life to give. This Persian is low pile and carries a soft elegance, with just the right patina that whispers history, not fragility.
The field is a floral wonderland — rich, refined, and beautifully balanced. An easy piece to style, thanks to its allover design and grounded palette. These are the kinds of forever flowers that don’t wilt — the kind that age gracefully and elevate whatever space they’re in.
It’s been around for over 140 years, so naturally, there are a few love marks: a handful of small repairs the size of a dime, and one small patch, shown in photos. They don’t detract — they just remind you that this one’s a survivor.
Still sturdy, still beautiful, and still ready to be the anchor for something timeless. This Lavar doesn’t just lay down — it sets the tone. Thanks for looking at this Persian in the collection!
