The antique rugs of Kerman were the inspiration for many of the motifs and designs that we typically associate with Persian rugs. They were among some of the first carpets to be imported by the wealthy industrialists during the American and European Industrial Revolution. In the early 19th century, the city of Kerman was destroyed in a period of civil strife. Many of the weavers escaped to the nearby town of Laver, which also had its own tradition of fine rug weaving.
The weavers learned from each other. The result was a style that would become known as Laver-Kerman rugs. This tradition produced some of the most beautiful masterpieces in the world. The area rugs are known for their high-quality, soft wool, high knot counts, and a stunning level of detail. They are typically larger and were often created as commissioned pieces.
