Ravar Kerman / 11339

A Ravar Kerman rendered in fine wool, this pictorial antique rug measures 5' 0" x 8' 2" and reads like a stitched tapestry. The cream ground holds a dense tree-of-life populated by birds, pomegranates and delicate flowering stems, set within a narrow floral guard and an outer frieze of animal scenes and roundel portraits. Subtle gold highlights and rose accents enliven the neutral field while low wear preserves crisp detail and a soft hand. Circa 1900 - 1920, the piece balances narrative imagery and refined woolen texture with a quietly aged, design-forward presence.
