Ghashgai / 20872

This Ghashgai antique rug, measuring 4' 7" x 6' 8", carries a field of repeating geometric medallions set against a dark ground, each form outlined with crisp tribal rhythm and small floral infill. The border reads as a lively band of angular motifs in brown, cream, blue-grey, and rust, giving the composition a layered, hand-held feel. Wool pile lends a warm, tactile surface, while the low distress shows gentle age wear and softened colour rather than heavy loss. Circa 1900 - 1925, it feels grounded, intricate, and quietly expressive. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
