European / 10320

This European wool rug presents a disciplined allover palmette repeat worked in a warm neutral field enlivened by muted blue-grey and rust accents. The scale is fine, the pattern densely woven and held within a narrow roundel border that frames the composition with measured restraint. Surface wear is low and the pile shows a gentle, even fade that reads like an inherited patina. The tactile wool retains a soft, lived-in hand while the colours settle into an autumnal harmony. Circa 1880 - 1895. Dimensions: 10' 8" x 14' 11". An antique rug that reads both architectural and quietly decorative.
