A compact Tibetan runner in wool, 79 x 183 cm, arranged around two restrained medallions on a warm neutral ground. The colourway balances cream and white with lively red accents and dark outlining that reads almost graphic against the field. A narrow inner border of geometric fretwork contains the centre while a small repeating motif punctuates the outer margin. Low distress and an even pile retain clear pattern definition; the edges sit neatly. This antique rug expresses mid-century Tibetan design in a tactile wool weave, quietly composed and materially assured. Circa 1980 - 1995
