Bakhshaish / 15206

This Bakhshaish antique rug measures 10' 0" x 12' 0" and presents an expansive allover geometry softened by time. A warm cream ground carries a delicate lattice of stepped medallions, tiny floral scatter, and pale blue outlining, all framed by a rust-red border with angular vine forms. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and abrasion that lend the composition a gentle, lived-in depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, it feels quietly resolved, with the visual balance and restrained palette that define the character of a well-aged wool weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
