This Kurd Bijar antique rug measures 3' 3" x 15' 3" and presents a long, architectural prayer-form composition in wool. A weathered teal field is filled with tightly repeating floral ornament, while the narrow side borders carry a steady geometric cadence in brown, cream, and grey. The surface shows medium distress, with softened colour, visible fading, and a lived-in patina that lends depth to the pattern rather than obscuring it. Circa 1885 - 1900, the rug feels restrained and grounded, with a quiet rhythm that rewards a closer look. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
