Velvet Reins is a quietly captivating figural rug, rich with folk-art charm and equestrian grace. A central feminine figure stands between dark, expressive horses, their movement unfolding across a warm golden field that gives the scene a soft, timeworn glow. The composition feels narrative and intentional.
The pile has been worn down over time to a low, matte finish that enhances the graphic quality of the design rather than softness underfoot. She feels sturdy and well-made, with a presence that reads more collected and character-driven than plush.
A small rug with strong visual impact, equally beautiful underfoot or displayed as a tapestry-style wall hanging.
Vintage hand-knotted rug/tapestry
Approximately 2’ x 4’9
Low, time-worn pile with a sturdy, grounded feel
Warm golden field with cocoa brown, teal and muted red tones
Figural equestrian design with folk-art character
Some small, age-appropriate areas of repair, including minor restoration to the figure, professionally stable and not detracting from the rug’s structure or visual charm
No. 1298 | Velvet Reins
