Old New House® studio

A fragment becomes the daily frame

One-of-a-kind, twice-lived

Walls often feel either purely decorative or purely practical; rarely both. The Decorative Cork Board Antique Kerman Rug Fragment Art bridges that gap with a concealed cork core behind a silk-like wool pile border from an 1800s Kerman rug. Threadbare touches and gentle fade carry history without demanding attention. Notes, photos, and reminders find a textured backdrop that feels considered.

Texture that slows the room

At 12" x 12" x 1.25", it sits comfortably by a desk, kitchen phone nook, or entry—close enough for daily change-outs. The professionally cleaned fragment brings age and nuance to the rhythms of a modern day. You pin what’s current to something that has already lasted. The result is calm, functional presence.

For the collector who plans

Someone who loves antique textiles and wants a compact, wall-hung place to post the week’s essentials without losing warmth.

Where it lives

Hang in an entry or kitchen to pin keys notes, recipes, or a rotating photo while keeping a small footprint.
