Kerman / 10761

Kerman, an antique rug woven in wool, offers a pale cream field tempered by muted teal and faded rose, with a delicate suggestion of a central medallion and an allover floral vine. The borders are layered with arabesque motifs which have softened with time; abrash and medium wear give the surface an even, antique patina that highlights the piece’s tactility and age. Circa 1920 - 1940. At 305 x 450 cm this rug reads as a subdued, painterly textile, its worn colour range and fine motifing speaking to careful handcraft and the quiet eloquence of timeworn fibre.
