Baluch / 22771

This Baluch antique rug measures 4' 2" x 5' 11" and carries a timeworn, quietly expressive surface. A faded central medallion sits within a field of softened geometric and floral detail, while the border is articulated by repeating cartouches in muted coral, pale blue, cream, and grey. The palette has mellowed into a restrained wash, with areas of heavier wear that add depth and movement rather than distraction. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as elemental and refined, with the high distress giving the composition an especially lived-in character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
