Bakhtiari / 25489

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 12' 10" x 14' 8" and carries a richly layered field of stepped medallions, small-scale geometrics, and floral border work. The palette moves between rust red, brown, teal, cream, ivory, and black, with age-worn contrast that softens the more intricate details. Areas of abrasion and fading create a quiet patina across the surface, while the pattern remains clearly legible and deeply composed. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the grounded complexity associated with the Bakhtiari tradition, with a tactile presence that feels both structured and lived-in.
