Bakhshaish / 11797

An articulated Bakhshaish in wool, this antique rug presents a cream field arranged in a repeating lattice of diamond compartments, each enlivened by small floral sprays and palmettes. A deeper brown border frames the field with a disciplined, geometric cadence. Low distress and an even, time-softened patina preserve motif clarity while adding a tactile softness to the pile. The piece measures 9' 0" x 11' 2" and shows subtle abrash across the ground that reads as gentle age. Circa 1885 - 1925 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
