This Turkish antique rug, 180 x 272 cm, is drawn in a restrained palette of ivory, cream, warm brown and soft pale blue. Across the field, a repeating leaf-and-bud motif creates an understated allover rhythm, while a slender border and scattered floral details maintain a sense of order around the edges. Medium distress lends the surface a softened, timeworn appearance, with visible fading that enhances its quiet depth. Circa 1940 - 1960, this antique rug feels grounded and measured, with a pale, atmospheric presence that remains elegantly tactile. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
