Kerman / 10949

A refined Kerman in wool, this antique rug reads like a faded textile painting. A restrained cream and gold field centers on an elegant medallion, surrounded by a lattice of palmettes and floral sprays that have softened with time. The layered guard borders retain intricate vine and rosette work while the field shows gentle abrash and medium wear that reveal a tactile, lived-in surface. The piece measures 8' 0" x 9' 5" and carries a quiet, aged presence suited to considered interiors. Circa 1900 - 1925, this Kerman celebrates the patina of use and fine handwork across its luminous ground.
