Bakhshaish / 12006

This Bakhshaish runner, handwoven in wool and measuring 94 x 747 cm, presents a continuous allover of palmettes and sprigged vine motifs across a warm neutral ground. Accents of red, cream and white punctuate the repeating botanical medallions, while narrow guard borders offer a measured frame. The rug shows low distress with subtle abrash through the field and slight wear at the ends, retaining a soft, tactile pile and a serene, aged palette. The composition reads as an extended study in pattern and restraint, a considered antique rug with authentic, lived-in presence. Circa 1880 - 1900
