Kalat / 12185

This Kalat presents a restrained, tactile presence in wool, its 3' 8" x 5' 4" scale reading intimate and domestic. A stepped lozenge field holds repeating gul-like motifs in cream and gold, punctuated by pale blue accents and softened by even wear. The guard borders carry small star and hooked motifs that repeat with careful rhythm; abrash and surface abrasion lend a weathered, textural hush. The clothlike softness and muted palette speak to age and hands-on use. Circa 1920 - 1935, this antique rug has a calm, heritage-aware character that favours thoughtful, design-forward interiors.
