This Turkaman Kalat antique rug measures 137 x 198 cm and pairs a warm ivory ground with repeating geometric motifs, small tribal accents, and a strong central medallion. The surrounding borders are tightly organised in red, burgundy, black, cream, and green, creating a layered frame that feels both precise and expressive. Woven in wool, it shows low visible wear, with a softened surface and gentle variation that adds depth without diminishing clarity. Circa 1975 - 1990, it reflects the disciplined ornament and tactile presence associated with this rug category. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
