Antique Bakhtiari Persian Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Persian Bakhtiari piece exemplifies the enduring artistry of antique rugs from the Qajar period. Its dense knotting and robust wool foundation speak to the tribal and village weaving traditions of the Zagros Mountains, resulting in a textile of remarkable durability and presence. The striking central field is saturated with a deep, vibrant red, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized Tree of Life motif. This primary hue is beautifully contrasted by the complex border system, which utilizes rich, dark tones and delicate accents within the palmette and vine work. The design features a magnificent, centrally anchored Tree of Life, its branches meticulously rendered with repeating blossoms that create a mesmerizing, ordered geometry.
