Dorokhsh / 26562

This Dorokhsh antique rug measures 150 x 394 cm and carries a slender, elongated composition built from repeating vertical bands of paisley and floral detail. A floral border surrounds the field, where a neutral ground is enlivened by faded green, rose, burgundy, navy, and muted gold. The medium distress gives the surface a softened, atmospheric look, allowing the pattern to read with quiet clarity. Circa 1890 - 1915, it reflects the measured ornament and layered border work that give Dorokhsh rugs their enduring character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
