European / 11064

European wool rug, 290 x 396 cm, a refined black field enlivened by a repeating palmette and arabesque lattice in cream, neutral and pale gold. The broad cream border provides a structured frame, its scrolling palmettes and small cartouche motifs balanced and deliberately composed. Condition is low distress with subtle abrash across the lighter zones and restrained surface wear that lends the fibre a gentle patina. An antique rug with considered proportions and a tactile, heritage-aware presence. Circa 1920 - 1985 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
