An Afghan wool runner with a generous field of repeated octagonal guls set within a narrow patterned border. The colour story, brown, cream and neutral with white highlights, has mellowed into subtle abrash and medium wear, producing a softly tactile surface. The stepped geometric motifs remain orderly yet softened by age, offering quiet compositional clarity and a sense of woven history. Circa 1895 - 1915. This antique rug measures 323 x 630 cm and presents a heritage character rooted in materiality and time. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
