Antique Bakhtiari Persian Black 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of bakhtiari weaving presents a dramatic and highly saturated palette, characteristic of the best village productions from the region. The deep, inky field, categorized here among our black color rugs, provides a sophisticated backdrop for the intricate design work.
The composition is defined by a bold central medallion rendered in striking blues and creams, anchored within a field densely populated by stylized botanical forms. The overall effect is one of controlled exuberance, utilizing complex lattice structures and abundant floral rugs to fill every available space.
Woven during the 1930s, this piece retains the robust structure and rich wool quality prized in nomadic and village textiles. Its substantial dimensions qualify it as one of our premier room size rugs, capable of defining a primary living space or grand dining area with historical gravitas.
The masterful use of contrast—between the dark ground and the jewel-toned highlights—ensures that this textile functions not merely as floor covering, but as a powerful piece of decorative art. It is a distinguished addition to our curated collection of exceptional antique rugs.
