Bakhshaish / 12497

This Bakhshaish presents a red field warmed by rust and pink variations with teal and blue highlights. Hexagonal guls repeat across the field, each with a compact palmette, framed by narrow floral guard borders. The wool fibre has an even, low-distress nap and subtle abrash that reveals layered dyeing and long use rather than heavy repair. The composition holds a quiet, crafted presence and reads as an antique rug at 292 x 323 cm. Circa 1880 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
