Kirman Laver Carpet, Circa 1870, 3.28m X 2.68m

19th century
Description

Kirman Laver carpets are amongst the finest and most sought after 19th century Persian city carpets. Among those, the Laver carpets are considered the creme de la creme. The best examples have a fine weave with velvety wool pile clipped low, and with an array of elegant floral designs. Kirman Laver carpets celebrate maximal design and with a wonderful range of vibrant colours. This lovely piece is a great example. The elegant anchor medallion appears to be floating above the pale ivory ground and is surrounded by an array of flowers. The raspberry spandrels in the four corners of the field add to the composition which is matched by complementary floral borders. The angular drawing of the design gives this carpet an interesting twist, but it is nevertheless a fine example of Persian weaving. The pile has worn evenly across the field which gives it that elusive feeling of age. subtle and harmonious, one can imagine this carpet in many types of both traditional and modern settings, and would lift any space. Note also the squarish size.

FAQs

Laver Kirman carpets are Persian floor coverings produced in Ravar, a town north of Kirman in south-eastern Iran. Originating in the 19th century, these weaves are recognised for their complex floral patterns, high knot density, and light ivory or cream fields.

These carpets are constructed with a hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton warp and weft foundation. The wool was traditionally dyed using natural plant and insect sources to produce shades of crimson, indigo blue, and ivory.

Authentic examples feature asymmetric Persian knots, a soft texture due to high-quality wool, and multi-layered floral borders surrounding a central medallion. Examination of the reverse side reveals a distinct, tight weave structure and natural colour variations known as abrash.

A traditional carpet serves as an anchor in a room, bridging classical architecture with contemporary furniture. Placing a patterned floral weave over polished wooden flooring creates visual warmth and contrast against modern neutral upholstery.

Regular maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling the wool fibres. Professional specialist hand washing is recommended for deep cleaning, alongside using a high-quality underlay to prevent slippage and wear.
