Bibikabad / 18874

This Bibikabad antique rug measures 8' 8" x 12' 5", woven in wool with a restrained, time-softened palette of blue-grey, faded pink, rust, and ivory. An allover field of floral and geometric motifs creates a steady rhythm across the surface, framed by a narrow floral border and layered guards that feel crisp against the worn ground. Circa 1885 - 1900, its low distress level reads as a gentle patina rather than heavy loss, with visible abrasion and softened contrast that lend depth and atmosphere to the composition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
