Heriz / 26553

Heriz antique rug, 8' 2" x 11' 8", with a quietly worn field of cream and white softened by pale blue, teal, and traces of coral. The stepped medallion composition and floral border remain visible, though they have mellowed into a more atmospheric, timeworn register. Circa 1900 - 1920, this piece carries medium distress with broad fading, a gentle abrash-like variation in tone, and softened pattern clarity that gives the surface a hushed, lived-in presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
