Indian / 11887

This Indian wool runner shows a deep navy field pierced by three elongate medallions in warm rust and soft cream, punctuated by pale blue highlights. A narrow floral border of neutral ground and foliate motifs frames the composition, giving the piece a composed, classical cadence. The pile is low with minimal wear and gentle abrash that reads as considered age rather than heavy intervention. The tactile wool fibre and restrained colourway lend the antique rug a quietly collected presence. Measurements: 97 x 371 cm. Circa 1900 - 1915. Its refined motifs reward close examination.
