A mid-20th-century Persian Bakhtiari carpet from around 1940, measuring approximately 457.4 × 487.9 cm (about 15’0″ × 16’0″) — a near-square room-format proportion well suited to formal dining and large living rooms.
The composition pairs a deep black field with a teal-blue border — an unusually dark and sophisticated color register for a Bakhtiari piece of this scale.
Bakhtiari rugs come from the territory of the Bakhtiari nomadic confederation in the Zagros mountains of southwestern Persia (Iran). Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
