This Bakshaish antique rug, measuring 330 x 437 cm, carries a pale centre enlivened by repeated geometric motifs and a disciplined, multi-layer border design. Red outlines, muted blue notes, soft green accents, and cream grounds work together in a composition that feels both ordered and expressive. The wool surface shows low distress, with gentle age character and softened colour that deepens the overall atmosphere. Floral tracery and angular forms repeat in a measured cadence, giving the piece a calm visual pulse. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
