Dorokhsh / 18496

This Dorokhsh antique rug, 401 x 511 cm, carries a richly detailed figural composition shaped by riders, ceremonial figures, and a central architectural motif. The border is dense and ornamental, enclosing a field that has mellowed into softened ivory, blush, burgundy, and black. The visual wear remains restrained, so the imagery is still legible while the surface has taken on a graceful, timeworn softness. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as a rare example of decorative storytelling translated into wool with poise and restraint. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
