Kerman / 10811

An expansive Kerman woven in wool, the surface reads like a softened, time-worn painting. A faded central medallion and delicate floral sprays emerge from a neutral-beige field, set against an ornate brown scroll border punctuated by small turquoise accents. High distress and deliberate abrash have smoothed the pile to a velvety hand, revealing layered tones and an antique rug patina. The piece measures 12' 0" x 15' 10" and carries a quiet, historic presence; details are worn into elegant suggestion rather than crisp line. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
