Bakhtiari / 25489

This Bakhtiari antique rug measures 391 x 447 cm and presents a finely worked field of stepped medallions, compact geometric ornament, and a floral border threaded with rosettes and octagons. Its palette of rust red, brown, teal, cream, ivory, and black is softened by visible wear, giving the surface a muted, timeworn depth. Medium distress brings abrasion, faded passages, and softened edges into the composition, without obscuring the pattern. Circa 1925 - 1970, it offers the layered symmetry and decorative density long associated with Bakhtiari rugs, rendered here with a grounded, heritage-rich character.
