Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug 47643

Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: 1920 – Here is an remarkable antique rug – an antique Bakhtiari piece, woven in Persia during the second decade of the twentieth century. This absolutely intriguing, distinct work is characterized by an incredible precision of detail work, as well as a charming and distinct central medallion, which features a beautifully rendered pictorial element. This dynamic rug is the sort of piece that appears to grow more interesting upon closer examination – for while it appears to be a relatively conventional antique Bakhtiari rug from a distance, there is in fact something more at play – the Hunting Scene, a recurring motif in early twentieth century Persian rugs. In this particular example, the treatment of the theme is rather distinct, with the image of the hunter placed squarely in the central medallion. Beautifully rendered deer appear throughout. Deep, vibrant colors characterize the pallet, with blue and red coming together in the outermost border in such a manner that one is given the immediate impression of purple. This beautiful Bakhtiari carpet is a genuinely impressive composition.
