Bakhtiari / 22249

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 439 x 787 cm, with an expansive allover composition softened by age and use. A dark, timeworn field carries repeating floral medallions and scrolling vinework, enclosed by a warmer border that gives the design a steady frame and measured cadence. The palette sits between neutral brown, cream, and faded coral, with muted greyed areas that reflect its worn surface. Circa 1900 - 1925, it shows the layered character and quiet depth associated with a Bakhtiari, where the pattern remains readable even as the colours have settled into a restrained, atmospheric presence.
