Turkish / 12599

A quietly elegant Turkish runner in wool, its red ground aged to a warm, muted tone with cream and brown details. The layout favours a lengthened medallion suggestion framed by vertical floral vines and a decorative floral border, the design softened by consistent wear. Medium distress and subtle abrash create a layered colouration and a soft, tactile surface that speaks to long use. This antique rug measures 183 x 434 cm and retains a restrained, heritage character; edges show sympathetic wear consistent with age. Circa 1880 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
