Bakhtiari rug, circa 1920
Measurements: 233cm x 140cm (7’8 x 4’7)
110 Knots per inch
Price: £850
A very robust rug with the typical Bakhtiari cotton foundation and long pile. This is quite finely knotted compared to others I have handled. The garden design is not uncommon amongst these rugs which vary in quality to some degree. As ever the better rugs have good colours and I particularly like the fresh blue seen in this one. A well constructed rug in good condition with another hundred years of life left in it.
Condition:
Good condition with full pile. The pile is a little uneven in places but otherwise a very usable piece.
