Burnished by time and imbued with history, our unrivaled collection of vintage and antique rugs has been curated with an artist's eye for uncommon beauty, character, quality and provenance. Crafted by generations of nomadic weavers, villagers and historic workshops, each rug is made by hand and tells a unique story of a place and a people, expressing their craft in one-of-a-kind creations. From the royal carpets of Agra to masterful French Aubussons, the jewel motifs of classical Persians to the geometry of Turkish Oushaks, our singular rugs represent the world's finest rug-making traditions.

Woven in the village of Lavar near the city of Kerman, these rugs represent the finest examples of the Kerman weaving tradition. Developed in highly organized workshops during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they are renowned for their exceptionally fine knotting and intricate designs drawn from classical Persian court motifs. Fine wool yarns are often combined with silk to produce refined details and smooth, luxurious texture. Characterized by their precision and sophisticated artistry, Lavar Kerman rugs are prestigious examples of Persian workshop carpets.
