Lavar Kerman
A Kirman style rug made in
Raver. Raver or Laver Kerman became known for the best Kerman carpets.
Raver was a town 120 miles from Kerman where American companies owned a
large number of looms. Through the 20th century the Atiyehs were a major
producer of Kerman carpets. It only stopped when due to the Islamic
revolution and ensuing difficulties they shifted production to China.
I am pleased to mention that
through the efforts of Vice
President Seyed Hossein Mar'ashi and Dr. Khosrow
Sobhe of the Iranian Carpet Exporters Association working
with Tom Atiyeh of Portland Oregon, Atiyeh International, LTD.
has returned to Kerman.
Jacoby mentioned a propensity
to use Purple and Nile Green. Jacoby,
