A large vintage Uzbek Bukhara rug featuring a soft sky blue field filled with orderly rows of classic gul motifs in brick red, coral red, and navy. The crisp contrast between the cool ground and warm geometric motifs gives the rug a distinctive presence, offering a lighter and more open interpretation of the traditional Bukhara aesthetic. The repeating gul pattern creates a rhythmic, balanced surface, while the richly layered borders frame the composition with structure and depth. The palette feels fresh yet grounded, making the piece especially appealing for interiors seeking a traditional handwoven rug with unusual color and a more luminous character. Woven in the Uzbek Bukhara tradition, this rug reflects one of Central Asia’s most recognizable design languages, known for disciplined geometry, repeating medallions, and timeless decorative appeal. Crafted from merino wool, the pile has a smooth, velvety finish that enhances both color depth and tactile comfort. Soft underfoot yet durable, it brings a quiet sense of luxury to everyday use. Measures 9'8" × 13'. Excellent vintage condition, clean and ready for use. Its generous scale works beautifully in living rooms, open seating areas, dining spaces, or interiors where a large rug can define the room while still feeling light and elegant. WHERE IT SHINES - Perfect for: Design-led homes, spacious living rooms, and open seating areas where the full pattern can be appreciated and the lighter palette can open up the space Effect: Brings clarity, rhythm, and brightness while grounding the room with a structured, symmetrical composition - A great choice when you want: A large traditional rug...

Antique Papua New Guinea Hand-Carved Tribal Mask, Sepik River Region, Early 20th Century An evocative and finely crafted tribal mask from Papua New Guinea, likely originating from the Sepik River region, renowned for its powerful ceremonial art and expressive visual traditions. This striking mask is constructed from handwoven vegetal fibers, rather than carved wood, reflecting a distinct regional approach within Papua New Guinea ceremonial arts. The bold facial composition features exaggerated eyes, pronounced contours, and graphic detailing—hallmarks of Sepik-influenced ritual objects. The surface displays a rich, naturally aged patina with visible wear and tonal variation consistent with age, ritual handling, and long-term environmental exposure. Hand-applied pigments in multiple colors further enhance its visual impact and ceremonial character. Masks of this type were traditionally used in spiritual and ceremonial contexts, often associated with ancestral reverence, initiation rites, or protective symbolism within village life. Today, such works are highly sought after by collectors of tribal and ethnographic art, as well as interior designers seeking objects with strong cultural narrative and sculptural presence. A compelling sculptural object whether displayed on a wall or as a standalone accent, this mask brings depth, history, and a sense of the primal to any refined interior or curated collection. Condition: Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear, surface patina, and minor irregularities consistent with traditional hand-weaving, hand-painting, and use. No restorations observed. Authentic Early 20th-century Papua New Guinea masks...
