Kerman / 12950

This Kerman antique rug measures 297 x 511 cm and balances a cream ground with cooled blue ornament, tan accents, and a faded, airy field of floral detail. The composition is anchored by a formal central medallion and enclosed by an ornate border with repeating palmettes and blossom forms. Its medium distress lends the surface a softened, timeworn presence, with visible fading and age toning that temper the palette. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the poised, decorative language for which Kerman rugs are known, with a graceful sense of order and wear.
