This Larestan runner, 10' 0" x 26' 10", reads as a long, quiet sequence of small palmettes and floral sprays across a warm brown field. A broad floral border frames the composition, gold highlights and neutral ground softened by century-old wear. Handwoven wool shows medium distress with even abrash and areas of low pile that lend a tactile, timeworn surface. The restrained motifs and extended scale give the piece measured rhythm and an architectural calm. This antique rug feels lived-in and considered. Circa 1895 - 1915 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
