Bakhtiari / 20376

This Bakhtiari antique rug, measuring 11' 3" x 21' 7", carries an allover trellis structure softened by time and use. Repeating floral palmettes sit within a dense lattice, framed by narrow geometric borders that keep the composition orderly and restrained. The wool surface shows medium distress, with muted contrast, gentle fading, and a calm, worn hand that lends depth to the neutral, green, white, and cream palette. Circa 1925 - 1945, it reads as grounded and architectural, yet still richly detailed in pattern and tone. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
