Antique Bakhtiari Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece represents the robust weaving tradition of the Zagros Mountains, offering a classic example of Iranian Persian rugs known for their durability and complex geometric compositions. The field is dominated by a powerful, stylized central medallion rendered in deep indigo and madder red, surrounded by intricate tribal motifs. The contrast is heightened by the use of a warm, luminous ivory field in the spandrels and borders, which allows the saturated primary colors to truly resonate. This highly structured design is a hallmark of authentic bakhtiari rugs. Measuring approximately 6 feet in length, this piece falls into the desirable small scatter size category, making it perfectly suited for hallways, entryways, or as an accent rug in a defined space.
