Larestan / 11435

Larestan in wool, a large, quietly worn field that reads as a pale wash of red and pink over a neutral ground. A fine allover floral lattice and narrow guard borders are visible beneath a soft veil of abrash; smaller motifs recede into a whisper of colour and texture. The surface shows medium distress that lends a clothlike, tactile quality while preserving the piece's drawn, antique rug character. The palette shifts subtly with the pile, suggesting depth rather than contrast. 16' 10" x 19' 8". Circa 1925 - 1940. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
