Ravar Kerman / 21138

This Ravar Kerman antique rug measures 4' 5" x 10' 3" and carries the layered softness that comes with time. An allover field of palmettes, floral medallions, and boteh-like forms unfolds within a narrow floral border, rendered in teal, green, cream, and muted rose with earthy neutrals throughout. The surface shows a lived-in patina and low distress, which gently blurs the pattern without losing its rhythm. Circa 1910 - 1930, it reads as both ornate and restrained, with the faded character of wool lending warmth and depth to the composition.
