European / 10239

An elegant European wool field worked in a disciplined grid of circular medallions, each rendered in muted red against a soft cream ground. Small lattice lozenges animate the negative space while a scrolling neutral border frames the composition; the overall effect is measured and tactile. Surface condition is low distress, exhibiting gentle, even wear and a calm hand. The scale is generous at 10' 7" x 18' 4" and the wool preserves a subtle matte sheen. Circa 1895 - 1910, this antique rug reads as a composed, historically aware piece with quiet decorative authority.
