European / 15453

This European antique rug in wool measures 8' 0" x 10' 6" and reads as a quietly modern composition with age. A broad, abstract band in brown, cream, and deep navy settles along the upper field, while an open neutral ground is crossed by an irregular dark line that brings movement and restraint at once. The high distress softens the palette and blurs the edges of the design, giving the surface a worn, tactile depth. Circa 1950 - 1965, it carries the ease of a piece shaped by time without losing its graphic clarity.
