Antique Bakhtiari Persian Rug 43345

 

Antique Bakhtiari rug, Persia, late 19^th Century

The best of the dyer’s and weaver’s art comes together in this antique Bakhtiari rug. An overall design of green star medallions covers a yellow abrashed field. The red border with its large-scale, stylized, floral motifs compliments the field.  Classical design reinterpreted with a nomadic sensibility—the result is truly beautiful.
