Bakhtiari / 15159

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 6' 10" x 10' 3" and presents a richly worked garden-style field of pictorial square panels, each holding stylised florals, animals, and geometric medallions within a layered floral border. The palette moves through neutral beige, brown, cream, muted rust, and soft sage, creating a subdued but detailed surface with a lived-in glow. Medium wear softens the contrast and lends the composition a calm patina. Circa 1940 - 1960, it carries the grounded, decorative complexity associated with Bakhtiari weaving while remaining visually restrained and textural. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
