Molavi Carpet | Kerman Pattern – Sormei (Navy Blue) Color | Lachak Toranj (Medallion and Corner) Design Persian Machine-Made Carpet

The Kerman Sormei Lachak Toranj by Molavi Carpet is the embodiment of classical Persian carpet design at its most formal and majestic. This 700-reed machine-made carpet features a grand central medallion surrounded by elaborate corner brackets on a deep navy blue field, rendered in the time-honored Kerman style with rich reds, cream, gold, and blue. It is a carpet of ceremony and heritage — the definitive choice for spaces that demand the highest expression of Persian decorative tradition.

Pattern Description: Kerman Lachak Toranj (Medallion and Corner) Design

The Lachak Toranj — literally “Corner and Medallion” — is the most revered layout in the entire Persian carpet canon. At the center of the field, a large ornate medallion (Toranj) commands attention with its elaborate scalloped edges, layered concentric rings, and intricate internal floral filling. This central medallion is the visual and symbolic heart of the carpet, representing the dome of a mosque or the center of a paradisiacal garden.

From the medallion, the design radiates outward to meet matching quarter-medallion corner brackets (Lachak) at each of the four corners, creating a sense of infinite extension — as though the carpet is a window into an endlessly repeating celestial pattern. The field between the medallion and corners is filled with delicate floral sprays, arabesques, and intertwining vine work in the refined Kerman tradition.

The border system is exceptionally rich, featuring multiple ornate guard bands — each with its own floral or geometric motif — surrounding a wide main border packed with continuous floral scrollwork. This multi-layered border treatment is a hallmark of the finest Kerman carpets and adds tremendous visual depth and formality to the composition.

Color Palette: Sormei (Navy Blue)

Sormei — deep navy blue — is perhaps the most classic and sought-after ground color in Persian carpet tradition. The rich, saturated navy field of the Kerman Sormei provides a regal backdrop for the full spectrum of traditional Persian carpet colors: deep crimson red, warm cream, antique gold, and lighter blue accents.

The central medallion typically features cream and red elements that seem to float above the navy ground, while the border bands alternate between red, navy, and cream grounds to create rhythmic visual layers. The overall effect is one of profound richness and formality — a palette that has graced the finest Persian carpets for centuries and continues to command respect in the most discerning interiors worldwide.

Technical Specifications

Material and Quality

Deep Color Saturation in Acrylic Heat-Set

The deep navy field and rich crimson accents of the Kerman Sormei demand a fiber that holds saturated color without bleeding or fading. 100% acrylic heat-set yarn delivers exactly this — the heat-setting process locks dark dyes at their deepest intensity while maintaining the fiber’s characteristic softness and luster. The navy field retains its depth through years of use, and the red and gold accents remain vivid and true.

Medallion Precision at 700 Reeds

The Lachak Toranj design places extraordinary demands on weaving precision. The central medallion must be perfectly symmetrical, with scalloped edges, concentric layers, and internal details all aligning with geometric exactness. At 700 reeds and 2550 density, the Vandewiele HCP loom achieves this symmetry flawlessly, producing a medallion that appears to have been drawn by hand yet repeats with mechanical perfection. The multiple border bands, each with their own repeating pattern, maintain consistent rhythm from corner to corner.

The Kerman Carpet Heritage

The city of Kerman in southeastern Iran has been a center of carpet production for over five hundred years, renowned for producing some of the most finely detailed and chromatically rich carpets in the world. Kerman carpets are characterized by their curvilinear floral designs, elaborate medallion compositions, and sophisticated use of color — qualities that the Molavi Carpet Kerman faithfully reproduces using modern precision weaving technology. Owning a Kerman-style carpet is a connection to one of humanity’s greatest decorative art traditions.

About Molavi Carpet — The Majesty of Kerman, the Mastery of Kashan

The Kerman Sormei Lachak Toranj represents the most revered design format in the entire Persian carpet tradition, and Molavi Carpet weaves it with the authority that comes from being rooted in Kashan, Isfahan Province, Iran — the historic capital of Persian carpet excellence. The Lachak Toranj layout — with its grand central medallion radiating outward to meet quarter-medallion corner brackets — has adorned the palaces of Safavid kings, the halls of great mosques, and the collections of the world’s finest museums. It is a design of ceremony and cosmic symbolism, and Molavi Carpet honors it with every thread.

The deep navy blue field, the rich crimson accents, the antique gold and cream details — these are the defining colors of classical Persian carpet artistry, and achieving their full depth and saturation in machine-woven form demands the absolute best in technology and materials. Our Vandewiele HCP looms weave the Kerman’s elaborate medallion with geometric perfection — each scalloped edge, each concentric ring, each internal floral detail aligning with the mathematical precision that this most symmetrical of designs demands. At 700 reeds and 2550 density, the multiple ornate border bands maintain their rhythmic perfection from corner to corner.

The Crown Jewel of Persian Design — From Kashan to the World

The Lachak Toranj medallion carpet is to Persian art what the dome is to Persian architecture — the highest expression of symmetry, beauty, and cosmic order. When Molavi Carpet weaves the Kerman Sormei in navy and crimson, we are participating in a tradition that connects the Ardabil Carpet in the Victoria and Albert Museum to the carpets beneath the feet of kings, to the prayers offered on woven gardens in the great mosques of Isfahan and Kashan. This is not simply a floor covering. It is a piece of civilization, woven with pride and offered with reverence.
