Saddle Bag / 12404

Saddle Bag with a central blue panel framed by mirror floral side fields, woven in wool and showing low distress and stable edges. The limited palette of blue, white, cream and brown lends the piece a thoughtful restraint; floral motifs and a dotted inner border sit against a quieter ground. The clothlike centre contrasts with the piled panels, a quality that marks this as an antique rug with considered repair history and soft pile. Circa 1890 - 1910. Size: 71 x 122 cm, a compact, materially focused example of the form.
