Hamadan / 11966

An antique rug, a Hamadan in wool, measuring 221 x 325 cm, presents a soft neutral colourway of cream and brown. Repeating palmette medallions and flowering vines form an airy all-over field, held within a stepped guard border. The medium distress exhibits visible abrash and a worn luster that softens pigments and reveals tactile pile variation. Circa 1905 - 1925. The rug reads as a considered, time-marked object; restrained colour and even wear articulate a quiet heritage sensibility and layered texture. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
