Kerman Lavar – South Persia

This luxurious Kerman Lavar unfolds a floral medallion of golden delicacy at the centre of a vast navy-blue field — an expanse of indigo, deepened by gentle abrash, that gives the composition the stillness of a night sky. Flowers and vines radiate from the medallion with the finesse for which the master workshops of Lavar, north of Kerman, were celebrated. The borders answer with dense millefleurs vinework in beige, rose and blue, as intricate as embroidery. It is the dialogue between that serene emptiness and that abundant frame that marks the great Kermans: nobility through restraint, luxury through detail.
