Tehran / 10719

This Tehran wool rug reads like a soft, quiet embroidery of muted forms. A tightly repeated floral and palmette field sits within narrow foliate borders, the neutral and cream ground warmed by brown accents. Surface wear and even abrash lend a mellow, tactile patina; fringe and edges show gentle fraying consistent with medium distress. The scale and restraint of the design feel distinctly archival, a calm example of Tehran weaving vocabulary. Circa 1900 - 1920. Exact size: 11' 6" x 23' 6"; an antique rug with measured presence and an aged, linen-like palette.
