Ravar Kerman / 21720

This Ravar Kerman antique rug measures 361 x 505 cm and offers a restrained, timeworn interpretation of a traditional floral layout. Woven in wool, it balances a cream and ivory ground with brown, rose, and slate blue notes, creating a layered palette with quiet depth. The field shows scrolling vine work and medallion-like forms, enclosed by several narrow borders that keep the composition composed and intricate. Medium distress, faded areas, and softened contrast give the surface an aged, tactile character. Circa 1940 - 1970. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
