Antique Bakhtiari Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: Late 19th Century – This superb antique Bakhtiari rug displays a magnificent interpretation of a classic Persian latticework pattern rendered in a delightful Bakhtiari manner. Bakhtiari weavers are renowned for their compartmental garden patterns and elegant latticework compositions that often feature animals and ornate botanical motifs. In this exquisite piece, branching bouquets and shapely rosettes defined by arching leaflets create a formal tiled latticework pattern that traverses the elegantly appointed field. The sophisticated and highly evolved borders depict an innovative pattern of partial palmettes and pictorial cartouches that contain branching trees, flower-laden shrubs, graceful birds and stylized landscape scenes. The robust colors and delicate floral motifs featured throughout the composition have an innovative and refined style that has a timeless appearance.
