A refined Kerman runner in wool, 3' 0" x 7' 10", defined by a narrow format and a repeating floral medallion chain. Soft creams and warm browns sit against powder blue and navy accents, lending a luminous, restrained palette. The field’s arabesques and scrolling palmettes are countered by a narrow floral border, all rendered with delicate, tactile detail. Low distress has mellowed the pile and introduced a gentle patina while preserving the design’s clarity. This antique rug reads as a quietly elegant study in colour modulation and handwork. Circa 1900 - 1930.
