Large Size Tribal Medallion Mattern Antique Persian Bakhtiari Carpet, Persia, Circa 1900 – This antique Persian Bakhtiari carpet is a stunning work of art saturated in ultra-rich reds, dark blues and refined, natural greens. The tasteful border design features a playful dance of symmetrical glyphs set against a white background, and the center of the piece is an artistic explosion of darker hues that turn brighter and livelier in the upper and lower, left and right corners. The most notable design feature of this carpet is the isolated use of light blue outlining in the center – this simple yet effective use of color contrast separates the graphical elements of this carpet incredibly well.
