European / 12394

This European wool rug presents a spare, cream ground anchored by a compact central medallion and deep blue corner spandrels. A patterned border frames the field with repeating floral motifs rendered in restrained tones; the overall palette reads neutral with blue and white accents. The weave shows low distress and a soft, even patina that reveals subtle abrash across the centre. At 4' 3" x 5' 0" the piece reads as a refined antique rug with evident hand and age, a studied restraint in colour and form. Circa 1880 - 1895
