Bakhtiari / 24526

This Bakhtiari antique rug, measuring 13' 11" x 17' 8", presents a grounded field of dark brown and charcoal softened by ivory, cream, rust, and muted olive accents. Large geometric medallions sit within an angular lattice, while a broad floral border frames the composition with a measured, timeworn rhythm. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading, abrasion, and tonal irregularity that lend depth rather than distraction. Circa 1925 - 1940, it carries the layered character and architectural balance that define the Bakhtiari tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
