This Afghan Silk registers as a delicate study of colour and form. Measuring 132 x 160 cm, it pairs an ivory ground with deep brown stepped guls and small red accents, framed by narrow guard borders and a lattice outer border. The silk pile retains a soft sheen and shows low distress; the fringes are gently worn but complete. Cream and neutral tones sit warm against the brown, the surface catching light to reveal tactile variation in the weave. An antique rug with a calm, graphic presence, it reads contemporary in proportion yet quietly historic. Circa 1965 - 1985
