Bakhtiari / 18770

This Bakhtiari antique rug in wool measures 11' 5" x 15' 0" and carries a timeworn, layered presence. A deep field of muted blue and brown is animated by scrolling floral vines, palmettes, and a formal central medallion, all held within richly patterned borders. The palette settles into cream, white, rust, olive, and weathered earth tones, with medium distress that softens the drawing and lends depth across the surface. Circa 1925 - 1955, it reflects the decorative clarity and lived-in patina that give Bakhtiari rugs their enduring character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
