Antique Bakhtiari Persian Ivory 1880s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of bakhtiari weaving originates from the Chahar Mahal region of Iranian / Persian territory. Its late nineteenth-century provenance ensures a quality of wool and dye rarely seen in later productions, reflecting the height of Qajar-era craftsmanship. The central field is dominated by a luminous, pale ivory color ground, which provides a striking contrast to the saturated palette of the intricate motifs. Traditional Bakhtiari designs often employ a dense, repeating lattice structure, here rendered in rich indigo, madder red, and subtle saffron yellow, showcasing the mastery of natural dyeing techniques prevalent during this period.
