This Bakhshaish antique rug, 312 x 391 cm, is woven in wool and shows the soft patina of age through its faded indigo field and muted red, brown, and camel details. The design is composed with an all-over floral lattice, framed by a refined border of scrolling vines and small blossoms that gently anchors the worn centre. Its low distress leaves the pattern readable, while the colour wash lends an understated depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the grounded character and heritage feel often associated with Bakhshaish weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
