Kurd / 25577

This Kurd antique rug measures 163 x 361 cm, with a slender proportion and a softly faded palette of cream, faded blue, muted red, and taupe. The composition is filled with an allover floral field, framed by a red border that brings contrast to the lighter centre. Its worn surface and gentle abrasion soften the drawing, giving the pattern a layered, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, this piece carries the quiet understatement and tactile irregularity that give an antique rug its depth and character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
