Bakhshaish / 11303

An expansive wool Bakhshaish displaying a repeated garden-field composition, this antique rug measures 361 x 467 cm and offers a muted palette of red, cream and pale blue. The field’s regimented floral sprays and serrated leaves are outlined by a broad, softly faded rosette border. Medium distress and even abrash give the surface a tactile patina, the pile softened by long use yet the design remains clear. The result is a quietly architectural, heritage-rich textile that feels both worn and deliberate. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
