Bakhshaish / 19152

This Bakhshaish antique rug measures 284 x 371 cm and carries a broad field of floral medallions, boteh-like motifs, and small flowering forms within a finely worked border. The wool pile has softened over time, with visible abrash, mellow fading, and an even, gently worn surface that reads as cohesive rather than diminished. Brick red, teal-green, ivory, and faded blue give the composition its layered character, while the border adds a firm decorative frame. Circa 1880 - 1900, it is an antique rug with a grounded palette and a distinctly weathered, heritage-led atmosphere.
