Ghashghai / 24222

This Ghashghai antique rug, measuring 5' 9" x 9' 6", presents a layered field of faded blue-grey florals set within rich red-brown borders and a finely worked outer band. The composition feels at once structured and painterly, with small blossoms, stepped outlines, and repeated figurative forms creating rhythm from edge to centre. Wear has softened the palette into a calm, timeworn register, allowing cream and white accents to lift through the darker ground. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the grounded character and decorative complexity that define an antique rug of this tribe.
