Bakhtiari / 15159

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 208 x 312 cm and features a garden-like grid of pictorial squares, with floral forms, animal figures, and geometric motifs set within a finely bordered frame. Its neutral, brown, cream, muted rust, and soft sage palette reads quietly layered, with faded passages that emphasise the rug’s age and atmospheric surface. Medium distress gives the design a softened hand and a gentle, timeworn character. Circa 1940 - 1960, it reflects the decorative richness often found in Bakhtiari weaving, expressed here with a balanced, heritage-led clarity. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
