Larestan / 11435

Larestan in wool, an expansive field rendered in muted red and soft pinks against a neutral ground. A delicate allover floral network and narrow guard borders appear through even abrash, the finer motifs reduced to a textile-like whisper. The surface bears medium distress that harmonises the colours and emphasises a worn, tactile fibre; the overall effect is a quiet, linen-wash finish that retains the antique rug's compositional restraint. Proportion and subtlety reflect Larestan sensibilities while the muted palette reads as a cohesive whole. 513 x 599 cm. Circa 1895 - 1925.
