Bakhtiari / 18957

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 483 x 696 cm and shows an all-over field of diamond medallions, small geometric blossoms, and layered floral borders. The design is richly populated yet orderly, with faded turquoise, rust red, muted gold, and ivory unfolding over a deep brown ground. Visible wear has softened the outlines and created an aged, lived-in surface with subtle variation throughout. Circa 1920 - 1940, this wool Bakhtiari reflects the decorative density and heritage character associated with the category, while its medium distress lends warmth, texture, and a quietly weathered atmosphere.
