Antique Room-Sized Persian Bakhtiari Rug, Circa 1920 — Distinctive and cleverly composed, this antique Persian Bakhtiari rug displays an exceptional mosaic pattern highlighting a variety of arboreal, floral, and animal symbols. It is a wonderful archetype of the classic Khesti design, exemplified by sectioned square panels. Woven through this tapestry is a charming series of picturesque narratives, expressed in a timeless yet spirited palette of vibrant reds accented with creams and salmon pinks, as well as hints of green and blue. Willow trees, peony blossoms, and mammalian figures all feature prominently throughout these charmingly designed panels. Full of character and romance, this amply sized Persian rug will endow any room with a palatial quality.
