A restrained, finely detailed Khorasan in soft neutral ground and a deep red outer field, this antique rug reads as both intricate and quietly worn. The dense floral field resolves into repeating palmettes and scrolling vines, contained by a broad red border shot with gold accents. Low distress preserves surface texture and reveals subtle abrash across the field, lending depth to the wool pile. Thoughtful scale and an old-world colour mix make this a study in composed richness. Circa 1900 - 1915. Exact measurement: 23' 0" x 25' 3". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
