European / 11436

This European runner reads like a study in restraint: a pale wool field of cream and off-white holds repeating rosette medallions linked by fern-like sprays, framed by a contrasting charcoal floral roundel border. The surface shows high wear and softened pile with delicate abrash that lends a lived-in patina. The long proportions are stated as 4' 11" x 21' 9" and the piece maintains an understated, tactile presence despite visible areas of loss. An antique rug with quiet, neutral elegance and a worn, textile memory that reads both refined and authentic. Circa 1890 - 1910
