Kerman / 10136

This Kerman presents a pale, watercolor-like floral composition across a soft cream ground. Minute palmettes and scrolling vines coalesce into a faint central medallion, the drawing rendered in faded rose, pale blue and warm tan. High distress has equalised contrasts and given the wool a luminous, worn quality; abrash reads as part of its lived texture. Circa 1915 - 1930. This antique rug measures 13' 0" x 16' 10" and retains a quiet, heritage presence, an object where age, hand and careful conservation shape the surface and palette. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
