This rug needs overcasting along the fringe. Worn areas in center but to be expected with a rug this age. Approximately 10 patches ranging from 1 inch to 6 inches in length and about 1 inch wide. The patches are done well but are visible upon closer look. Couple of small holes around one of the patches that needs repair. The rug does need some work done to it but is a beautiful rug in okay condition
More about the provenance Kerman Lavar, ca. 1910 | Iran
Kerman is the capital city of the province of the same name. Kerman rugs have already been mentioned by the secretary of Shah Abbas I. (1587-1629) who spoke of "rugs with gold and silber threads". There are Kerman rugs preserved to this day since the 16th century throughout each century. Since the end of the 19th century until today Kerman with its large and esteemed rug manufactories is considered to be one of the most significant carpet production centers of Iran. Kerman is probably the only larger city of Iran whose population in its majority lives of carpet production. The most famous of the ca. 30 villages around Kerman in which rugs are made is called Ravar. The Kerman rug is often described as the "King of the carpets - the carpet of Kings". The Persian knot is used making them as opposed to the more spread Turkish knot which is more often used with Persian rugs.
