BAKHSHAISH / 22654

This BAKHSHAISH antique rug measures 11' 0" x 16' 4" and carries a richly layered field of geometric florals in red, blue, ivory, and muted green. The composition feels balanced yet worn, with repeated medallion forms and an angular border that still reads clearly through the softened surface. Areas of fading and abrasion lend the piece a gentle, timeworn patina rather than heavy loss. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the graphic clarity and village character that define the BAKHSHAISH tradition, while its scale and atmosphere bring depth, colour, and texture to the room.
