Esfahan / 17556

This Esfahan antique rug, measuring 246 x 348 cm, presents an allover floral lattice in layered red, muted teal, brown, and cream. The field is densely worked with scrolling vines, palmettes, and small medallions, while the borders add a quieter rhythmic frame. A pale central medallion lends balance without interrupting the richness of the composition. Circa 1945 - 1965, it carries a softened surface and low distress that leave the pattern legible and textured, with the graceful age that gives an antique rug its depth and presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
