Yazd / 24697

This Yazd antique rug, measuring 302 x 960 cm, shows a tall, structured field of repeating floral cartouches across a muted teal ground. Neutral, brown, white, and cream tones have mellowed with age, giving the surface a softened, atmospheric quality, while the border still outlines the composition with clarity. The pattern remains intricate, though wear has mellowed the contrast and created a supple, timeworn finish. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the composed, decorative language associated with Yazd pieces, with a quietly historic character and evident use. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
