Bibikabad / 26576

This Bibikabad antique rug measures 97 x 485 cm and features a long, ordered field of repeating geometric floral motifs in soft blue, cream, white, and rust brown. A slim inner border and broader outer border with scalloped, palmette-like forms give the composition its measured frame. The surface shows light fading and subtle wear, which gently quiet the drawing and add depth to the pile. Circa 1945 - 1960, it reflects the grounded palette and disciplined patterning associated with Bibikabad weaving, with a linear presence that feels composed from end to end.
