Turkish / 12628

An expansive Turkish wool field rendered in a restrained gold and brown register, the repeat palmettes and flowering vines resolving into a measured, classical lattice. The wide foliate border reads as a thoughtful frame to the busy floral ground, its motifs softened by time. Surface abrading and selective pile loss reveal a layered, tactile patina that reads as history rather than damage. This antique rug measures 14' 2" x 24' 6" and carries a quiet monumentality in scale and palette. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
