A hand-knotted wool runner rug designed in the Oushak or Ziegler style. The rug features an all-over decorative pattern of large-scale, stylised floral palmettes and foliate motifs across a neutral cream field. The colour palette is muted, incorporating shades of beige, tan, and sage green with subtle terracotta red accents. The central field is enclosed by a main border of repeating floral rosettes flanked by narrow guard stripes. The construction consists of a wool pile hand-knotted on a cotton foundation with a moderate weave density. Characteristic variations in colour, known as abrash, are present throughout the field, which are indicative of hand-dyed wools and intended to provide an antique aesthetic.
Approximate long runner format.
Condition report:
The rug is in generally good condition with consistent wear to the pile. The fringed ends are intact. No significant stains, holes, or repairs are visible.
