Dorokhsh / 18496

This Dorokhsh antique rug, 13' 2" x 16' 9", presents a painterly figural scene that feels both formal and atmospheric. A ceremonial central architecture rises beneath rows of riders, attendants, and processional figures, all set within a finely worked border of floral ornament. The palette is softened by age, with faded ivory ground, blush, burgundy, and black lending the composition a quiet depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, its low distress preserves the clarity of the narrative while allowing the surface to read with gentle, lived-in character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
