Antique Bakhtiari Persian Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving originates from the Chahar Mahal region of Iranian / Persian rugs, showcasing the robust, deeply saturated palette characteristic of the finest tribal production. The dense, allover pattern features a dramatic interplay of stylized palmettes, vinery, and rosettes set against a magnificent, near-black color rugs ground. This dark field allows the rich secondary colors—vermilion, saffron, and deep indigo—to emerge with striking clarity, lending the piece a monumental presence. The design is executed in a sophisticated, continuous lattice arrangement, where the traditional Khesti (garden panel) structure has dissolved into a flowing, curvilinear composition.
