Bakhtiari
First quarter 20th century, 212 x 163 cm, Western Central Persia, Chahar Mahal
This Bakhtiari garden carpet was woven in one of the villages of the densely populated Chahar Mahal region. The geometric, abstract tree design of closely spaced cypresses, poplars, weeping willows and flowering shrubs seen in the midnight blue field harks back to Khorasan models. The white main border of diagonal serrated leaves and colourful rosettes adds a compelling counterpoint to the dark field. Outstanding quality, very beautiful colours. – Good condition, some wear to the overcasting along the sides, both ends slightly reduced.
