European / 10824

A long European runner in a warm gold ground with repeating cartouche medallions and scrolling foliate ornament. The wool fibre shows low wear and a gentle, even pile that preserves the pattern definition and a soft tactile surface. Subtle abrash and a muted cream border lend the piece an understated patina that reads as considered and historic. Circa 1900 - 1920. This antique rug measures 231 x 1440 cm and presents a measured interplay of motif and ground, a heritage-aware study in colour and restraint. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
