Amritsa / 11789

An Amritsa in wool, this antique rug carries an allover medallion lattice softened by a worn, warm palette of red, brown and gold. Low distress keeps substantial fibre and a gentle patina, with subtle abrash and neat edges that read as considered ageing rather than loss. The border, a repeating floral meander, frames the dense field with composed restraint. The rug measures 371 x 358 cm, a wide format that balances intricate patterning and open rhythm. Circa 1885 - 1900. The surface invites close inspection; the hand and ageing articulate craft and time.
