Antique Bakhtiari Rug, Persia, Circa 1920 — A wide border of blue frames the quilt-like blocked pattern of this antique Persian Bakhtiari rug, circa 1920. The use of detail coupled with the specific tones of blues and rich browns in this piece are truly evocative of Persian rugs of this era. The unique blocked pattern of this rug is reminiscent of a quilt, giving this particular carpet the welcoming feel of a collectible heirloom. Crafted in hues that are astoundingly rich, the various trees, flowers, leaves and motifs which comprise these blocks inspire conversation. The artistic use of these combinations of elements results in an original antique rug that truly holds the eye.
