Bibikabad / 19191

This Bibikabad antique rug measures 371 x 612 cm and is woven in wool with a densely patterned field in deep blue, softened sky blue, rust red, ivory and muted gold. The layout is richly layered, with repeating floral and boteh-like motifs set within a finely drawn border of scrolling vine forms and small rosettes. The surface shows low distress, with gentle wear and a softened finish that temper the design’s intricacy. Circa 1900 - 1925, this Bibikabad holds the quiet density and lived-in character often found in an antique rug of this type.
