Ravar Kerman / 11867

A quietly refined Ravar Kerman in a soft neutral field, woven in wool and softened by age. The composition centers on a scalloped medallion surrounded by an intricate floral vine and palmette network, with narrow guard borders punctuated by dark calligraphic cartouches. Cream and ivory grounds settle into warm tan abrash, while hints of pale blue and navy remain in the border. Medium distress has mellowed the surface into a tactile, timeworn patina. This antique rug measures 8' 7" x 12' 1" and reads as an heirloom object of subtle detail. Circa 1920 - 1935
