Kerman / 14328

This Kerman antique rug, 11' 9" x 16' 0", is rendered in a softened field of cream and warm brown with pale aqua and muted teal floral detail. The composition opens into generous negative space, then gathers into a refined central medallion and elaborate border fragments, creating a quietly layered, timeworn surface. Wool lends a tactile hand, while the high distress level brings visible fading, tonal variation, and graceful wear throughout. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the relaxed formality and faded ornament often associated with well-aged Kerman design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
