Ravar Kerman / 12169

This Ravar Kerman antique rug presents an elaborate central floral medallion set within repeating floral borders, the wool pile offering a soft, textured surface. The 427 x 671 cm field reads a warm neutral ground punctuated by brown and muted green with traces of faded rose and blue, the motifs finely rendered and symmetrical. Low, even wear and subtle abrash give a mellow patina that accentuates the carved centre and scrolling spandrels without obscuring detail. The piece feels both tactile and composed, a measured example of Kerman sensibility with a gentle, timeworn presence. Circa 1915 - 1930
