Bakhshaish / 11797

A Bakhshaish woven in wool fibre, this antique rug carries an ivory ground patterned with a regular lattice of diamond compartments, each filled with delicate floral sprays and palmettes. A deeper brown main border provides a steady, geometric frame while the overall colourway remains restrained and quiet. Low distress and a mellow patina preserve ornamental clarity while softening the surface to a pleasant hand. Measurements 274 x 340 cm; the rug shows subtle abrash that reads as natural age. Circa 1885 - 1925 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
