European / 11157

A measured European wool rug in a pale, neutral colourway with soft gold highlights. Measuring 254 x 406 cm, the field presents an all-over floral lattice of palmettes and repeated medallion forms, worked in muted blue, rose and light olive. The broad foliate border and restrained guard stripes offer compositional balance while a low level of wear yields a tactile, worn-in fibre and delicate abrash that enhances rather than obscures the motif. The piece reads as an antique rug with thoughtful restraint; its motifs and quiet tonality speak to continental taste and measured ageing. Circa 1905 - 1935
