Esfahan / 17556

This Esfahan antique rug, measuring 8' 1" x 11' 5", presents an allover floral lattice in layered red, muted teal, brown, and cream. The field is densely worked with scrolling vines, palmettes, and small medallions, while the borders add a quieter rhythmic frame. A pale central medallion lends balance without interrupting the richness of the composition. Circa 1915 - 1930, it carries a softened surface and low distress that leave the pattern legible and textured, with the graceful age that gives an antique rug its depth and presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
