Ghashgai / 19717

This Ghashgai antique rug, measuring 4' 1" x 5' 8", carries an intricate field of small floral sprays set against a soft, timeworn ground. The composition feels dense yet ordered, with a narrow vertical axis and dark border bands that lend definition to the allover pattern. Earthy brown, cream, and muted terracotta tones are lifted by touches of black and rose, creating a quietly layered surface. Visible wear has softened the contrast and given the wool a dry, tactile presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as a thoughtful example of aged tribal weaving with enduring visual rhythm.
