Ravar Kerman / 10132

A substantial Ravar Kerman in wool, 13' 7" x 16' 8", defined by an intricate allover arabesque lattice and repeating palmette network. The field reads in soft neutrals and warm browns over a cream ground, the composition traced with fine curvilinear vines and small floral motifs. Surface wear and medium distress give the pile a tactile, lived patina while preserving refined drawing and layered guard borders. This antique rug balances a quiet, architectural scale with detailed, hand-drawn ornament; its faded clarity and even abrash speak to long use and careful preservation. Circa 1925 - 1940
