Bakhtiari / 20338

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 4' 10" x 9' 10" and presents a richly layered field of floral cartouches, palmettes, and rosettes arranged around a vertical central spine. The palette moves between deep navy, rust red, ivory, sky blue, and sage green, with golden outlines that hold the composition together. A busy border in complementary tones frames the design with steady rhythm. Worn pile and softened contrast give the surface a timeworn tactility without diminishing its detail. Circa 1920 - 1940, it carries the animated balance and village character that define Bakhtiari weaving.
