Bakhtiari / 21003

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 7' 2" x 11' 8" and presents a layered field of oversized medallions, small floral repeats, and a rich border that anchors the composition. Wool pile shows a lived-in hand, with medium distress, visible fading, and bright areas of wear that reveal the rug’s history and soften its deep brown, neutral, cream, and charcoal palette. The geometry feels steady yet expressive, with a tactile surface that holds both detail and patina. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the grounded elegance associated with Bakhtiari weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
