An antique Persian Kerman Lavar rug from the late 19th century, this classical design unfolds with consummate elegance across a soft tan field. A scalloped ogival medallion brimming with minute millefleurs detail is adorned with fleur-de-lis finials and enclosed by corner pieces that define an oval field, itself studded with scintillating jewel-like floral elements in mauve-aubergine. The floral borders echo the same elements and tones of the field, endowing the entire composition with a remarkably harmonious decorative unity — a hallmark of the finest late 19th-century Lavar Kerman production.
