Gharabah / 10388

A Gharabah in wool, measuring 114 x 330 cm, this antique rug pairs a disciplined geometric repeat with a single elongated diamond medallion for vertical focus. The indigo ground sets off cream and beige rosettes, softened by blush and muted teal touches and edged by a narrow running border. Wear is low, with gentle abrash and occasional small areas of pile loss that lend a lived-in patina without obscuring the pattern. The overall impression is of heritage craft and a refined, tactile surface. Circa 1885 - 1905. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
