Bakhtiari / 24279

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 13' 0" x 17' 10" and carries a deeply worn, layered surface that softens its formal floral language. A dark blue ground is lifted by neutral, cream, white, and muted blush accents, while the border holds palmettes, vines, and repeating blossoms in a quieter, timeworn register. The overall effect is atmospheric and restrained, with visible fading that blurs the pattern into a gentle field of color. Circa 1940 - 1960, it reflects the elegance of age with a grounded, textural presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
