A large antique Caucasian rug with the soft, sun-faded palette collectors chase — a vertical pole-column of hooked, star-filled stepped medallions runs down a camel field, framed by a generous border of soft rosettes and palmettes. Late 19th to early 20th century, with the muted, oxidized natural dyes only real age produces. Colors have mellowed to camel, sage green, dusty rose, faded mauve and madder, ivory, and soft blue — the exact "collected antique" look designers layer today. Lovely as a low-traffic floor rug, a layering piece, or hung as a textile in a living room, bedroom, studio, or gallery wall. Suits bohemian, eclectic, faded-antique, and old-world interiors. Handwoven in all wool. Distressed antique condition, disclosed honestly: worn low surface with soft abrash, areas of loss and small holes, and frayed ends with original wool fringe — a genuine "gorgeously worn" antique to enjoy as-is or display. Measures 11'8" x 6'3" (140 in. x 75 in.).
