This exceptional antique Persian Laver Kerman carpet is a magnificent palace-size example from the renowned weaving center of Laver (Ravar), celebrated for producing the finest Kerman carpets during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tabriz carpets are distinguished by their excellent weave and by their remarkable adherence to the classical traditions of Persian rug design. The city of Tabriz, was the earliest capital of the Safavid dynasty.
One of the most important figures in Tabriz rug making was the master weaver Haji Jalili and best known today for his incredible and unique approach to rug-making and his preference for distinctive color palettes and design elements. Haji Jalili is especially known for mixing lighter colors -- such as pinks, golds and grays -- into the design of his rugs.
