Ghashgai / 19717

This Ghashgai antique rug, measuring 124 x 173 cm, presents a finely worked field of small floral motifs across a softened, well-balanced ground. Dark border bands and slim inner guards frame the composition, while a subtle central axis anchors the dense patterning. Brown, cream, neutral, and muted terracotta hues are threaded with black and faded rose, giving the wool a grounded, weathered palette. Visible wear has mellowed the surface and softened the outlines, adding to its tactile character. Circa 1900 - 1930, it offers a restrained yet richly layered example of tribal weaving.
