This Turkaman Bacara antique rug measures 127 x 183 cm and presents a rich red ground worked with neutral, cream, and white accents. The design is tightly composed, with repeating geometric medallions running through the centre, enclosed by fine borders and patterned guard bands that keep the field visually contained. The wool surface carries low distress, with a gently time-softened appearance and subtle tonal variation throughout. Circa 1900 - 1920, it has the grounded clarity and character associated with an antique rug of this type, balancing bold colour with disciplined pattern.
