Kalat / 12185

A Kalat woven in wool, this 112 x 163 cm example reads as a quietly refined, textural object. A stepped lozenge anchors a field of cream and gold, its repeating gul motifs and small star borders softened by even abrash and medium wear. Pale blue accents punctuate the palette, the edges and corners showing sympathetic surface loss and softened pile that reveal long use. The quieter colour range and handworn surface create an intimate, layered quality. Circa 1910 - 1940, this antique rug carries a tactile, heritage-aware presence and an understated sense of craft.
