Bakhshaish / 12090

A slender Bakhshaish runner in wool, 94 x 384 cm, presenting a restrained yet lively palette of red, neutral, cream and white. Serrated medallions form an axial sequence across a quietly abrash field, the geometric floral guard borders providing structured repetition and movement. Wear is low and even, the pile softened rather than flattened, which enhances the rug’s tactile appeal and the layered depth of its colours. This antique rug reads as both graphic and handworked, its motifs retaining clear definition through gentle age. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
