Decorative Cork Board featuring antique Kerman rug fragment with floral pattern and concealed cork backing

Old soul, new note

A 10-inch square of lived-in Kerman florals—soft reds, deep blues, and time-faded tan—framed with quiet purpose for the wall.

From fragment to focal point

Antique Kerman, reimagined for the daily glance

One-of-one utility

Walls often feel either overly functional or purely decorative. The Decorative Cork Board Antique Kerman Rug Fragment Art bridges both with a concealed cork core behind a circa 1890 rug fragment. Notes, photos, and reminders gather on a surface with history, not plastic. The signs of age—abrash, softened florals, a hint of foundation—bring warmth to routine.

Quiet daily ritual

The square becomes a small anchor where schedules and memories meet. Its blue and cochineal red palette lends a calm punctuation to kitchens, entryways, or studios. At 10 x 10 x 2 inches, it sits comfortably in intimate spaces or layered gallery walls. Professionally cleaned and ready to hang, it turns checking a list into looking at art.

For the collector who lives with their pieces

Someone who loves antique textiles and wants a compact, functioning artwork for a lived-in corner.

Put it to work

Pin weekly notes and photographs while enjoying the character of an 1890 Kerman fragment on the wall.
