Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – This classical antique Persian village rug artfully uses a formal latticework composition that is decorated with a rich variety of culturally significant symbols. Like many tribal carpets, this stunning antique Persian Bakhtiari rug features a robust variety of clear, strong colors that run the gamut of the spectrum. The phenomenal latticework pattern depicts symbol-filled medallions adorned with ornate cruciform motifs, geometric stars and auspicious burdock-like extensions that are used to catch wayward spirits. These colorful tiles are juxtaposed against charming floral shrubs that feature burdock-like flowers. The traditional serrated-leaf borders feature an equally beautiful display of tribal motifs. This delightful and well-executed antique Bakhtiari rug features layers of symbols and motifs that represent much more than what is initially apparent.
