European / 10356

A commanding European wool rug in a vivid red field, enlivened by gold foliate scrolls and floral roundels set within a wide decorative border. The weave retains a tactile pile and the design reads with painterly clarity; surface abrasion is minimal and edges are well preserved. This antique rug measures 246 x 290 cm and shows subtle abrash that warms the red to softer notes, suggesting careful use and preservation. Circa 1900 - 1920, the piece reflects the vocabulary of continental decorative ateliers and the quiet resilience of natural fibre and time.
