Bakhtiari / 11402

A modest Bakhtiari, 5' 2" x 8' 8", defined by twin ivory medallions that hold dense floral bouquets against a deep blue ground. The wool pile reads soft and low, with a restrained abrash that enlivens the navy field while preserving the clarity of the geometric cartouches and narrow guard borders. Cream medallion centres and white accents provide a calm counterpoint to the saturated blues, giving the composition a measured, tactile presence. There is an artisanal restraint to the pattern and palette that feels both historic and immediate. This antique rug conveys a quiet, handcrafted dignity. Circa 1900 - 1920
