Bibikabad / 10284

A Bibikabad antique rug in wool, 11' 8" x 18' 3", defined by a dense all-over floral lattice of small palmettes and linked tendrils. The field reads in layered browns and neutral tones, the wider border introducing cream and white accents that frame the composition. The wool pile shows medium, even wear and a painterly abrash that softens outlines and deepens the surface texture, imparting an understated, timeworn presence. Tactile and quietly elegant, this Bibikabad balances pattern clarity with the muted patina of age, a study in restrained colour and historic craft. Circa 1900 - 1915
