Ravar Kerman / 16167

This Ravar Kerman antique rug measures 9' 3" x 13' 0" and carries a richly worn, painterly surface in purple, blue, and neutral tones. Its allover floral field is softened by age, with layered medallion-like forms reading through a hazy, timeworn patina. Multiple borders frame the composition in subtle contrast, adding structure to the faded center. The wool pile shows visible distress that lends depth and atmosphere rather than sharpness. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the character of a collected textile, where intricate design meets quiet abrasion. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
