A quietly elegant European wool runner in muted cream and neutral tones, its central medallion and scrolling foliate pattern worn to a delicate impression. The single running border and softened pile create a gently flattened surface, the result of sustained wear and mellowed dyes that give the piece a refined, timeworn character. High distress and subtle abrash speak to a long life of use while retaining an antique rug’s tactile warmth. Circa 1900 - 1920. Size: 183 x 340 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
