Antique Bakhtiari Oversized Large Oversized Big Rug Wool Multicolor, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of a bakhtiari weaving, dating to the late 19th century, showcases the robust structure and distinctive compartmentalized design for which the tribal workshops of Western Persia are renowned.
