This Silk Ghom antique rug, 4' 6" x 6' 4", balances a rich red ground with deep black, ivory, and brown ornament in a restrained, architectural composition. A pointed central field encloses a dense floral lattice, while the surrounding panels and multiple borders carry smaller repeating motifs that echo the rug’s formal symmetry. The silk surface has a luminous, softly worn hand, with low distress that lends the design quiet depth rather than interruption. Circa 1945 - 1965, it reads as composed, precise, and gracefully aged. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
