Ghashgai / 22671

This Ghashgai antique rug measures 3' 6" x 4' 9" and carries a deeply worn, graphic presence. A faded central field is framed by layered geometric borders, with rust, brown, blue, cream, and neutral tones moving in and out of view across the surface. The design feels anchored in tribal memory, yet softened by time into an almost painterly composition. Circa 1900 - 1920, it shows medium distress, with visible abrasion and a calm, lived-in texture that gives the rug its character and depth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
