Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – Crafted by a tribal confederation known for their rustic interpretation of traditional Persian patterns, this antique Bakhtiari rug is a stunning example of the group’s weaving traditions. The beautifully decorated field depicts a sophisticated latticework pattern that retains a formal style but is filled with a variety of nuanced tribal motifs. Each intricately decorated cell depicts a marvelous variety of carefully outlined botanical motifs and tribal symbols that are set over alternating backgrounds. Charming floral guard bands that are adorned with reciprocating motifs and lined with running water symbols support the formal main borders, which feature a rustic yet distinguished interpretation of a traditional turtle and vine scroll pattern that complements the regal style of this antique Bakhtiari rug.
