Yazd / 31427

This Yazd antique rug, measuring 292 x 518 cm, brings together a muted palette of sage green, aqua, ivory, burgundy, and taupe within a richly ornamented floral composition. The border reads with greater clarity than the worn centre, where layered motifs and palmette forms are softened by age and visible abrasion. High distress has mellowed the pattern into a hazy, tactile surface with a graceful patina. Circa 1950 - 1970, it reflects the refined, decorative language that gives Yazd rugs their enduring character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
