Bakhtiari / 11216

A Bakhtiari runner in wool, 183 x 345 cm, shows three staggered medallions set into a deep brown field, warmed by red and neutral centre tones. The geometry is purposeful, with angular hooked motifs, serrated medallion frames and layered guard borders that organise the surface. Wear is low, with gentle abrash and a few discreet repairs that quiet the palette without erasing detail. The wool pile reads soft and tactile, the composition retaining crisp definition despite age. This antique rug feels poised and quietly storied. Circa 1895 - 1935 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
