Gharabah / 11222

A resolute lion strides across a softly abrash neutral field in this Gharabah. The wool shows a tactile, low-pile hand, warm brown modelling and saturated red outlines that animate the lion and surrounding floral bouquets. A narrow guard border of repeating rosettes frames the composition with precise colour contrasts that remain vivid despite gentle age. The piece reads as a studied example of early 20th-century decorative boldness and craft, an antique rug that balances figurative strength with floral refinement. Circa 1930 - 1945. Measurements: 4' 5" x 9' 0". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
