Ravar Kerman / 10596

A large Ravar Kerman in wool, this antique rug presents an allover botanical lattice of palmettes and rosettes set against a deep blue field accented with cream and tan. The multiple floral borders frame a measured, repeating composition; subtle abrash and a low level of wear lend a soft, timeworn sheen to the pile. The weaving reads refined and evenly finished across its generous 12' 8" x 24' 3" span, a piece that balances scale and detail. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
