Kerman / 10971

A finely drawn Kerman runner in wool, 9' 9" x 27' 9", distinguished by an endless floral vine and repeating lozenge medallions that travel the field. The cream and muted blue ground allows layered rose and navy accents to read like an antique rug warmed by time. Pile is low and even, with gentle abrash that reinforces the composition rather than obscuring it. The borders are composed and measured, framing the dense botanical language with restraint. Circa 1915 - 1930. The overall impression is tactile and quietly formal, a testament to refined weaving and long-lived materiality.
