Kerman / 10136

This Kerman reads like a softened floral watercolour on a cream ground, the design articulated by palmettes, scrolling vinework and a softened central medallion. Faded rose, pale blue and tan registers sit within a restrained ivory field; high distress and subtle abrash have mellowed contrasts and warmed the wool. Circa 1890 - 1910. The antique rug measures 396 x 513 cm and carries a tactile, heritage character, its muted colour palette and worn details revealing decades of use and careful repair. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
