Bakhtiari / 11181

A restrained Bakhtiari in a calm cream ground, handwoven in wool and composed of repeating cypress, flowering stems and compact palmettes in brown and taupe. The motifs form a disciplined vertical lattice within a narrow border, the effect both precise and quietly decorative. The wool shows medium wear and subtle abrash across the field, evidence of age that softens the surface and deepens the palette. This antique rug reads as considered and tactile, its neutral tones giving space to the pattern’s rhythm. Circa 1900 - 1920. Exact size: 236 x 335 cm.
