Esfahan / 12007

A refined Esfahan in wool, this antique rug carries a cream field with gold and tan accents framing a carefully modelled central medallion. The composition is classically balanced, floral vines and palmettes flowing into layered guard borders with pale blue highlights. Low wear preserves a tactile surface and crisp detail, while gentle abrash introduces soft tonal variation across the field. Circa 1970 - 1990. Measurements: 152 x 236 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded. The composition remains balanced, with its details softened into a calm, layered presence.
