European / 13273

This European antique rug measures 528 x 732 cm and brings together a restrained field with a richly drawn floral border. Dusty blue surrounds the edge, where scrolling vines, corner cartouches, and floral swags soften the frame and lend the composition its layered rhythm. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible wear, gentle fading, and creasing that enhance its aged character. Circa 1880 - 1900, it offers the muted colour and decorative clarity of an antique rug shaped by time and use. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
