Antique Large Bakhtiari Geometric Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the robust artistry of the bakhtiari weaving tradition, known for its dense pile and vibrant, natural dye palette. Woven in the early 20th century, the rug presents a powerful central design framed by complex, multi-layered borders. The field is dominated by a bold, central medallion and corresponding spandrels, executed with a highly stylized and captivating geometric rugs pattern. The use of deep madder red and midnight blue provides a dramatic contrast against the expansive, luminous ivory color rugs ground, highlighting the intricate zoomorphic and abstract motifs within the design's structure. As a large oversized rug, this Bakhtiari demands attention, serving as an architectural anchor for any grand interior space.
