#18485  Lavher Court Carpet  36' x 26'4"

This rug has an ivory ground containing a dark blue serrated center panel on which is superimposed a circular serrated panel in rose-red separated from central panel by a scalloped band of old ivory. The four corners are in rose-red. The entire field and central panel are well covered with an allover floral, spandrel, vine and palmette design in tones of rose-red, dark blue, light blue, soft green, coral and rust. The corners have a heavy elaborate interlacing spandrel and tracery design with interspersing flowers in the same tones as the over-decoration of the field. The main border is ivory containing a series of the Tree of Life design separated from each other by a small palmette surrounded by a delicate tracery of flowers and leaves in soft rose, dark blue, pale green, light blue and tan. On each side of the main border are five graduatingly smaller borders in rose, ivory and dark blue, very well covered with an allover connected vine, tracery and palmette design in the same colors as the overdesign of the field. The general feeling of this rugh is ivory, dark blue and rose resplendent in a sparkling design of flowers and arabesques in a well proportioned distribution. The arrangement of the borders form a beautiful and unusual frame for this masterpiece of Lavher weaving.
