From fragment to daily ritual

Antique Kerman, re-framed

A cork board disguised as heirloom art

Walls can feel flat—useful, but forgettable. The Decorative Cork Board Antique Kerman Rug Fragment Art folds function into character, so reminders live against a field of century-old color. At 10 x 10 x 2 inches, it lands wherever a small pause is needed—by the entry, above a desk, beside a kitchen calendar.

Texture that lives with you

Made in-house by Old New House, the mounted cork hides behind a professionally cleaned Kerman fragment dating to the early 1800s. The silk-like wool pile carries gentle age—fading, foundation peeking through—so each pin meets history. It invites touch, collects moments, and turns everyday planning into a glance worth lingering over.

For the collector who plans things

Someone who wants a functional pin board that reads as artwork and values antique textiles brought into daily life.

Place and pin

Hang it where you jot the week—by the kitchen, studio, or desk—and rotate notes and photos as the days shift.
