Bakhshaish / 10707

A substantial Bakhshaish in wool, the red field animated by repeating geometric medallions and smaller hooked forms, softened by neutral and pink accents across the weave. The composition is defined by layered guard borders and a broad octagonal outer band that contains the medallion repeat with assured restraint. Low wear and a gentle abrash give the surface a mellow, tactile patina while the colours retain depth and clarity. This antique rug measures 378 x 475 cm and shows considered ageing that emphasises its material presence. Circa 1885 - 1900 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
