A beautifully timeworn hand-knotted wool rug featuring an intricate all-over floral design centred around a delicate medallion. The soft, faded palette of muted indigo, terracotta, ivory, sage and dusty blue has developed through decades of gentle wear, creating the sought-after lived-in appearance that designers and collectors actively seek. The highly detailed drawing remains visible throughout, with scrolling vines, floral sprays and ornamental motifs filling the field and borders.

The rug displays significant age and character, with a naturally distressed surface that gives it an elegant, almost watercolour-like appearance. This mellow patina is difficult to replicate and makes the piece particularly well suited to contemporary interiors seeking warmth, authenticity and a collected-over-time aesthetic. The subdued colours work beautifully within current old money, European country house, grand millennial and quiet luxury interiors.

Hand-knotted from wool, this rug possesses the refinement and drawing associated with high-quality workshop production. There is age-related wear throughout, consistent with its antique nature, which contributes significantly to its charm and decorative appeal.

Measures 6'3" x 4'9" (190 x 144 cm). Hand-knotted wool construction
