Bakhtiari / 20376

This Bakhtiari antique rug, measuring 343 x 658 cm, presents an allover trellis of repeating floral palmettes, enclosed by slim geometric borders that give the composition a disciplined frame. Wool tones in neutral, green, white, and cream have mellowed with age, producing a low-contrast surface with visible fading and medium distress. The result is a quiet, layered field with an aged tactility that remains distinct in its pattern language. Circa 1925 - 1945, it balances ornament and restraint with the enduring presence expected of a Bakhtiari piece. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
