This Yazd antique rug, measuring 9' 7" x 17' 0", presents a softly worn field of layered florals and palmette forms in sage green, aqua, ivory, and burgundy. The composition feels finely detailed yet quieted by age, with the border retaining a more legible scrolling rhythm than the weathered centre. High distress has softened contrast across the surface, lending the piece a luminous, lived-in character. Circa 1950 - 1970, it carries the atmospheric restraint and decorative density often associated with Yazd design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
