Bakhtiari / 18956

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 345 x 561 cm and brings together stepped medallions, angular floral compartments, and a floral border that has softened with age. A dark field holds faded rose, teal blue, sage, ivory, and muted rust, giving the design a layered, earthy character with bright notes still visible through the wear. Medium distress is evident in the abraded surface and mellowed contrast, which add texture and quiet patina. Circa 1940 - 1960, this Bakhtiari reflects a formal yet tribal design language, with a rhythm that feels both structured and gently timeworn.
