Ghashghai / 24222

This Ghashghai antique rug, measuring 175 x 290 cm, balances a faded blue-grey field with deep red-brown borders and a densely patterned outer frame. Floral sprays, small geometric blossoms, and stepped borders give the piece a strong architectural order, while the repeated pictorial motifs around the edge add movement and vernacular charm. Its low distress reads as gentle wear, with softened contrast, subtle abrash, and a mellowed surface that brings the cream and white details forward. Circa 1950 - 1970, it reflects the restrained vitality and layered surface expected of an antique rug from this tradition.
