This European antique rug measures 236 x 323 cm and carries a tactile, collage-like composition in wool, where stepped blocks of red, cream, white, neutral brown and muted blue shift across the field. A narrow border frames the design, while fine black outlines and occasional floral sprigs bring contrast to the layered geometry. Circa 1950 - 1970, it shows medium distress, with softened colour, visible wear and a gently irregular edge that underscores its age. The result is a rug with depth, balance and a distinctly collected character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
