A striking antique Bakhtiari rug showcasing two large floral medallions set against a deep midnight-blue field. Richly detailed scrolling vines, palmettes, and floral motifs fill the composition, creating a sense of movement and elegance throughout the design.
The vibrant palette of sapphire blue, ivory, coral red, and soft sky-blue is beautifully balanced by a bold border adorned with stylized floral elements. The wool-on-wool construction gives the rug a supple texture and exceptional durability, qualities highly prized in early Bakhtiari weavings.
Combining strong tribal character with refined Persian artistry, this early twentieth-century Bakhtiari rug is a superb example of the region's distinctive weaving tradition and enduring decorative appeal.
