Bakhtiari / 18826

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 12' 3" x 14' 5" and presents a richly layered field of small blossoms, vines, and a centered floral medallion. The dark ground gives depth to the palette, while rust, ivory, muted blue, sage, and faded rose accents bring a softened brightness across the surface. A chain of decorative borders frames the composition with a steady rhythm and a grounded, formal balance. Circa 1910 - 1930, it shows the calm patina and low distress that give a woven piece its lived-in character without losing clarity.
