Gharajeh / 11468

A Gharajeh in saturated red and deep navy, worked in wool with gold and neutral highlights, this antique rug measures 4' 7" x 6' 4". The field presents an assertive central medallion, nested lozenges and serrated geometric motifs arranged with rigorous symmetry, all set within a broad dark guard border punctuated by angular floral lozenges. Low distress preserves a tactile pile and a soft, worn patina that reads as gentle abrash across the field; the surface carries clear dye saturation and subtle ground variation. The overall presence is architectural and textural. Circa 1885 - 1925
