Bakhshaish / 15206

This Bakhshaish antique rug measures 305 x 366 cm and offers a spacious allover field of geometric drawing, softened by age. A cream ground supports a fine lattice of stepped forms, small floral details, and pale blue outlines, while the rust-red border provides a strong enclosing rhythm with angular vine motifs. The wool pile shows medium distress, with clear fading, abrasion, and an even, time-worn surface that mutes the palette without losing definition. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reads as grounded and expressive, with the quiet complexity that gives a Bakhshaish its enduring appeal.
