Bakhshaish / 19152

This Bakhshaish antique rug measures 9' 4" x 12' 2" and presents a time-worn field of floral medallions, boteh-like motifs, and small scattered blossoms beneath a detailed border. The wool surface shows softened colour and gentle abrash, giving the composition a layered, lived-in depth. Brick red, teal-green, ivory, and faded blue shape the design with a balance of warmth and restraint. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the visual richness and relaxed patina that define a well-kept antique rug, with low distress and an expressive, textural presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
