Afghan / 22679

Afghan antique rug, 224 x 292 cm, rendered in brown, neutral, white, and cream with a muted, earthy register. Repeated octagonal medallions sit across the field, each enclosing compact floral motifs, while stepped ornaments and multiple geometric borders give the design its disciplined outline. Circa 1940 - 1960, this piece shows medium wear, softened colour, and visible fading across the surface, all of which contribute to its calm, timeworn character. The composition feels steady and graphic, with a heritage-driven presence that remains understated and clear. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
