Ghashgai / 22354

This Ghashgai antique rug measures 97 x 170 cm and presents a grounded palette of dusty blue, rust red, cream and brown. A large stepped diamond centre anchors the design, set within a field filled with small floral forms, boteh and geometric blossoms. The surrounding border is neat and understated, allowing the interior patterning to carry the visual weight. Medium distress has softened the contrast and given the surface a dry, timeworn patina. Circa 1925 - 1945, it feels quietly expressive, with the irregular charm and layered colour that define a well-kept antique rug.
