Raver Kerman Rug Gallery
RUG NAME: 1880 Laver Kerman 270 x 148 cm
GALLERY: Raver Kerman
CATEGORY: Persian
AGE: 1880
ID(Jozan): no. 2745
DESCRIPTION: Carpet No. (Type and Reference): 0662 M662
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 1880 Laver-Kerman example has a dark blue field, in which the Paradise design is depicted. The base of the field is dominated by a cypress set in a vase and is surrounded by jasmines, roses and other flowers. Two branches rising up from the vase intertwine elegantly in the upper part of the field, forming an arch over the cypress. Perched on the interlacing flowering branches are the numerous species of birds including doves, peacocks and pheasants. The birds play an integral part of the Garden of Paradise theme.
The magnificent example is framed by a lovely border of dark blue.
This example has always been in the hands of collectors and is in excellent condition.
