Machine-Made / 11051

This Machine-Made wool rug presents an allover composition of birds and flowering sprays, the motifs set across a warm neutral and brown field with cream highlights and a dark floral border. Subtle surface wear and visible fold lines give the piece a lived patina without obscuring the repeated avian forms; the scale emphasises its machine-made manufacture and period aesthetic. Measuring 386 x 724 cm, the piece reads as a 20th-century industrial interpretation of traditional designs. Circa 1970 - 1995. The antique rug character is expressed through softened colour and accumulated wear.
