European / 13273

This European antique rug measures 17' 4" x 24' 0" and presents a graceful balance of floral ornament and softened ground colour. A dusty blue border frames scrolling vines, corner cartouches, and blooming garlands, while the centre field remains understated with a fine, timeworn pattern. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible creasing, mellow fading, and a gently aged hand that lends the composition depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the quiet formality and faded richness that define a well-kept antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
