This vintage Lahore wool rug is a rare and distinctive piece that beautifully reflects the artistic heritage of mid-20th-century Pakistani weaving. The design features a repeating field of stylised zebu bulls, woven in soft beige against an olive-green ground, symbolising strength, prosperity, and agrarian culture. Surrounding the central motifs is a decorative border composed of geometric emblems, horseshoes, and abstract tribal symbols, arranged in a rhythmic sequence that frames the composition with balance and harmony. The rug’s unique octagonal corners further enhance its character, distinguishing it from traditional rectangular formats. Handwoven from natural wool, it carries a rich, slightly worn patina that highlights its vintage authenticity and time-softened palette. With its blend of cultural symbolism, rustic charm, and strong graphic appeal, this Lahore rug is both a functional textile and a piece of folk art, making it a striking centrepiece for collectors and interior spaces alike.
