Ravar Kerman / 12143

This Ravar Kerman presents an all-over floral arabesque in faded red and cream, woven in wool with a quietly luminous surface. The repeating palmette medallions form a warm lattice across the field while a broad foliate border in softer neutrals and sage blue frames the composition. Surface wear and mellow abrash give the piece a lived, tactile patina consistent with its age; this antique rug measures 10' 9" x 18' 9" and feels both expansive and intimate. Circa 1885 - 1925, the piece retains a restrained elegance and evidence of medium distress that emphasizes its historic character.
