Bakhtiari / 18876

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 297 x 442 cm and shows a densely ornamented field of linked lattice motifs, floral details, and boteh-like forms set within a lively, gardened border. The overall effect is intricate yet balanced, with a dark ground lifted by brick red, indigo, moss green, ivory, and ochre notes. Wool lends a soft, tactile character, while the low distress preserves much of the pattern’s clarity. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the layered, heritage-rich visual language associated with Bakhtiari weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
