Bakhtiari rug, early 20th century

Measurements: 198cm x 152cm (6’6 x 5’)

63 Knots per inch

Price: £280

A traditional Bakhtiari design with a meandering floral border flanking the central garden filled with interlocking diamonds. Notice how the darker colours recede into the background while the lighter ones pop forward creating depth in the central field. I like to have some affordable pieces on my website and despite some wear this is a very strong and usable rug at a good price.

Condition:

Low pile with some foundation showing, otherwise a robust piece.
