Handmade Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug 4.5' x 6.3' (136cm x 193cm) 1900s - 2K10 A Unique Work of Textile Art from the Early 1900s This handmade antique Bakhtiari rug is an authentic piece of Middle Eastern craftsmanship, woven entirely from wool in the early 1900s. Representing a long-standing tribal tradition, this rug carries both historical depth and visual character. Its bold central medallion, framed by complex geometric and floral patterns, is a testament to the skill of the artisan who created it. Aged Beauty and Distinctive Character The rug?s color palette?featuring deep reds, dark blues, ivory, and earthy greens?has gracefully softened over time. There are visible signs of wear, especially in the central and lower sections, which only enhance its distressed vintage appeal. These imperfections serve as markers of its journey through time, giving it a true antique charm. Despite its age, the structure of the rug remains intact. The fringes are slightly worn but present, and the edges, while frayed in places, maintain the integrity of the overall piece. This makes it not only a decorative object but a collectible with genuine cultural and artistic value. Perfect for Curated Interiors Whether used as a focal point in a living room or as a collector?s item, this antique Bakhtiari rug is ideal for those who appreciate timeworn beauty. It brings a grounded warmth and texture to rustic, traditional, eclectic, or bohemian interiors.
