Antique Square Blue Persian Bakhtiari Tribal Rug with Weeping Willow Design

Antique N.W. Persian Bakhtiari Blue 1900s Square Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This striking example of early 20th-century weaving from Northwest Persia showcases a profound indigo field, a characteristic often sought after in blue color rugs. The use of saturated, natural dyes gives the primary color a depth that shifts subtly depending on the light and pile direction. The composition features a highly stylized, repeating botanical arrangement, often interpreted as the Tree of Life motif, rendered in rich terracotta and salmon tones. While the vertical elements are distinct, the density of the weaving creates an almost unbroken visual field, classifying it as an effective allover pattern within the traditional Persian repertoire. Woven during the turn of the century, this piece retains the robust construction and fine knotting typical of regional Persian Bakhtiari workshops.
