European / 20372

This European antique rug in wool measures 287 x 378 cm and presents a restrained, time-worn palette with a distinctly layered character. The field is worked with an allover lattice pattern, then anchored by two vertical bands in rose-purple tones that lend structure to the composition. A finely drawn floral border and narrow guard borders complete the design, while the neutral, purple, white, and cream tones have softened with age. Circa 1920 - 1940, this piece shows medium distress, visible fading, and an elegant, worn surface. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
