An expansive Ravar Kerman in wool, this antique rug presents a dominant central medallion framed by a dense field of scrolling vines, palmettes and floral cartouches. A soft green and neutral ground is warmed by rust and navy highlights, the colour layering creating a gently modelled surface. Low distress maintains clear pattern definition while subtle abrash and slight pile variation lend tactile depth. The measured, multi-band border system remains crisply articulated, a quiet counterpoint to the lively field. Circa 1940 - 1960. Size: 14' 1" x 18' 1". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
