Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century — Displaying the intricate floral geometry that sets antique Persian Bakhtiari carpets apart, this stunning piece boasts exquisite symmetry and bold design. The deceptive simplicity of the outer border’s interlocking floral motif frames the marvelously complex heart of this beautiful carpet. Deep earthy gold, itself overlaid with a delicate pattern that echoes the floral motifs in the border, spreads across a rich midnight background. Rills of pale blue, soft cream, and deep exotic blue temper the striking sunset-colored medallion that is the focus of this magnificent and complex work. Widely considered the strongest and most solidly constructed of antique Persian carpets, the quality of this stunning piece is matched only by its complex beauty.
