Bakhtiari / 20439

This Bakhtiari antique rug, measuring 323 x 467 cm, carries a richly patterned field softened by age and use. Stepped geometric medallions unfold across a blue ground, with rust, cream, and white notes that hold the composition together. The floral border introduces a lighter, more detailed cadence, giving the whole piece a measured sense of balance. Low distress is visible in the gently worn surface and softened tones, which emphasise the tactile quality of the wool. Circa 1940 - 1965, it feels layered, composed, and quietly full of character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
