Some Kirman rugs are referred to as Laver, a modification of Raver, a town near Kirman where the rugs are knotted with great care.Old Laver rugs are characterized by a large, polylobed medallion, roughly oval or rhomboidal, on an ivory background (our model), or a decoration of vases placed in tiers.
These two types of carpets are extremely rare today and possess a chromatic delicacy unique to antique Kirman rugs.This category of carpets is rightly considered among the finest of ancient Iranian production.
The fine workmanship, delicate colors, and quality of the materials used make them collector's items.
