Kerman / 12739

A long, elegant Kerman runner in wool, its field composed of repeating medallions and stylised palmettes drawn in a warm neutral, cream and brown palette. The pattern reads with a restrained symmetry, the narrow guard borders framing a softly faded centre that reveals a lived, tactile surface. Medium distress lends depth to the colours and accentuates abrash across the length; the hand-worn pile and gentle scuffing convey working age without compromising the design. This antique rug measures 2' 10" x 21' 0" and carries a calm, heritage presence. Circa 1890 - 1910
