Ravar Kerman / 10208

A Ravar Kerman woven in wool, its central medallion and palmette field rendered in a quiet, archival palette. Cream and neutral grounds carry pale green and soft teal accents that emerge through layered abrasion and selective fading. Floral arabesques and repeating border cartouches resolve with low contrast, the surface showing medium distress and a tactile, worn sheen. This large antique rug measures 12' 8" x 17' 8" and reads as a well-travelled textile with refined patterning and muted colour harmonies. Circa 1915 - 1930, the piece balances heritage craft with a lived, textural presence.
