European / 12385

A compact European wool runner with a warm red field punctuated by gold and neutral highlights, rendered in a relaxed, stylised floral vocabulary. The composition pairs larger medallions with scattered palmettes and a framed floral border, the surface showing a soft, tactile pile and even color wash. The proportions and restrained wear give this antique rug a measured presence; small, deliberate abrasions reveal age without compromising pattern. Circa 1900 - 1920. 2' 10" x 5' 3". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
