This Turkaman Bacara antique rug measures 4' 2" x 6' 0" and carries a vivid red field tempered by neutral, cream, and white detail. The composition is orderly and graphic, with a columned central pattern of repeating medallions framed by a densely worked border and narrow guard bands. Its wool surface shows low distress, with a softly aged hand and subtle variation that gives depth to the red ground. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the discipline and warmth of an antique rug shaped by restrained ornament and tactile wear.
