Dorokhsh / 21754

This Dorokhsh antique rug measures 409 x 744 cm and unfolds as a long, finely worked composition, with an allover floral field enclosed by narrow guards and a broad border of scrolling ornament. The palette is gently faded, moving through ivory, taupe, faded rose, muted teal, and charcoal, with the wool now reading as softly aged and tactile. Bands of abrash and widespread wear temper the pattern and give the surface a calm, time-softened presence. Circa 1925 - 1955, it offers the understated character expected of an antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
