Bashir / 10413

This Bashir wool runner presents a disciplined field of stepped octagon medallions and repeating rosette motifs set against a warm ground, articulated by navy and ivory highlights. Low distress and gentle abrash lend a tactile, timeworn patina without obscuring the composition; edges show minor reduction consistent with careful use. The piece reads as an antique rug with rigorous geometric clarity and a lived-in surface that favours texture over gloss. Circa 1885 - 1910. Size: 231 x 475 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
