This Ghashgai antique rug, measuring 112 x 147 cm, carries the softened geometry and layered patina that define a life well lived. A stepped central medallion sits within a narrow angular border, while the field settles into brown, cream, white, and muted blue tones with traces of rust. The high distress level reveals holes, frayed edges, and broad wear that now read as part of its character. Circa 1900 - 1930, this wool piece feels tactile, grounded, and quietly architectural. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
