Afghan / 22679

Afghan antique rug, 7' 4" x 9' 7", with a grounded palette of brown, neutral, white, and cream. The field is organized around repeated octagonal medallions, each holding small floral details within a restrained geometric structure, while the border layers add a strong architectural frame. Circa 1940 - 1960, the surface shows medium wear with softened contrast, faded areas, and visible age that lends the composition a quiet, lived-in depth. The overall effect is tactile and measured, balancing pattern density with open ground and a weathered hand. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
