This Bakhshaish antique rug measures 292 x 414 cm and carries a finely worked composition in deep red, teal blue, brown, and muted neutral tones. The field is densely ornamented with floral and geometric motifs, held within stepped framing and layered borders that add clarity to the design. Woven in wool, it shows low distress, with subtle fading and softened edges that speak to age without diminishing the palette’s depth. Circa 1885 - 1915, it has the warm, textured presence of a piece shaped by time and careful use. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
