Bakhtiari / 11186

This Bakhtiari wool runner presents a dark navy centre punctuated by a procession of serrated medallions in cream, muted blue and tan, set within several narrow floral borders. The motifs are precise and graphic, the field resolving into a measured, repeating medallion lattice that balances ornament and negative space. Wear is modest, with subtle abrash across the blues and warm, even toning in the borders that emphasises the fibre’s tactile character. As an antique rug at 249 x 406 cm, it retains a composed, heritage sensibility without excess. Circa 1925 - 1940
