1940 1940 Laver Kerman from Northeast Persia, 205 x 139 cm
Kerman Rug Gallery
RUG NAME: 1940 Laver Kerman from Northeast Persia, 205 x 139 cm
GALLERY: Kerman
CATEGORY: Persian
AGE: 1940
ID(Jozan): no. 2651
DESCRIPTION: Carpet No. (Type and Reference): 0005 DO5
DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN AND HISTORY:
The western trade designation Laver is an incorrect form of the name Ravar, the weaving centre situated northeast of Kerman, adjacent to the Lut desert. Ravar has long been the origin of some of the finest of Kerman products. The historical explanation appears to be that during the wars of the late 19th century much of Kerman was destroyed and a large part of the population, among them many carpet weavers, fled to Ravar. Although the weavings are characteristic of Kerman, the high quality rugs produced in Ravar soon gained recognition and the workshops founded their own tradition.
Although incorrect, the term Laver has become so firmly entrenched in the trade that it has even been used as a designation for high quality products of other provenances.
This 1940 Laver-Kerman example has a pastel red field, with a diamond-shaped central medallion surrounded by four peacocks. The rest of the field is decorated with birds in a lovely garden of jasmine, cypresses, rosettes and palmettes. The smokey rose main border detains white and beige and sky blue palmettes containing various forms and vegetal devices. This beautiful border frames the entire field of the Laver-Kerman. The four guard borders of peach, orange, blue and cream accentuate this design with the pattern of small white jasmines. Its design develops with fluent control and imaginative skill. This carpet is commissioned by Mr Kaltoul, which is written in the Persian language at the top-centre of the border in one cartouche.
