Antique Bakhtiari Persian 1890s Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of weaving from the Qajar era showcases the robust and highly detailed artistry typical of its origin. The Bakhtiari tribes, known for their durable construction and vivid palettes, created pieces that are cornerstones of the history of Persia. The field is dominated by a striking lattice structure composed of interlocking diamond medallions. This complex, repeating arrangement ensures that the eye is constantly engaged, offering a visual density characteristic of allover rugs. Within each compartment, distinct tribal and stylized botanical motifs are rendered in miniature, demonstrating the weaver's mastery of confined space. A rich and deeply saturated color story defines this piece, utilizing natural dyes that have matured beautifully over the last century.
