Late 19th Century Distressed Antique Persian Kermanshah Carpet
About the Item
72742 Distressed Antique Persian Kermanshah Rug, 09'05 x 13'02. This hand-knotted wool Persian Kermanshah rug from the late 19th century exudes historical charm and timeless beauty, with a distressed, antique-washed look that softens its once-vibrant colors. Crafted in the 1880s, the Persian area rug reflects the refined artistry of Kermanshah’s master weavers, known for their meticulous skill and attention to detail. The distressed aesthetic, achieved through the natural wear of time and enhanced by the antique wash, evokes a sense of enduring history, making this piece a harmonious blend of laid-back luxury and modern versatility.
The intricate floral and vine motifs flow elegantly across the central field, framed by an ornate border that highlights the balance between symmetry and organic patterning. A subtle sixteen-point cusped medallion design in the center draws the eye, giving the rug a sense of order amidst the delicate flourish of its botanical elements. The muted earth-tone palette, now softened by the passage of time, features gentle hues of beige, taupe, soft pinks, and faded browns, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere suitable for contemporary or classic interiors.
This antique Kermanshah rug, with its distressed texture, offers a rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic that lends itself to a variety of interior design styles. The worn appearance, combined with the high-quality wool, not only enhances its historical value but also gives it a tactile appeal, making it ideal for grounding a living space with a touch of heritage. The rug's condition, with its faded areas, serves as a testament to its age and craftsmanship, each thread carrying a legacy of tradition passed down through generations of Persian weavers.
Whether placed in an elegant dining room, a serene living room, or a drawing room, this antique Persian Kermanshah rug tells a story of opulence and craftsmanship from the late 19th century. Its distressed character and antique-washed color palette make it a versatile piece that seamlessly blends into modern spaces, while still carrying the grace and elegance of Persian rug-making traditions. A true collector's item, it invites a sense of nostalgia and authenticity into any room it graces.
Rendered in variegated shades of brown, tan, ecru, sand, camel, rose, coffee, and beige with accents of gray, wine, burgundy, and maroon with other accent colors.
