Antique Rug, Bakhtiar Family, 136 X 200 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool, Iran Mid-20th Century

Old Bakthiar family carpet measuring 136 cm x 200 cm, in good condition, slight surface wear, on a short pile and with geometric graphics of its time and very fresh and bright colors for its age, around 1950.
This carpet originates from the region of Shotour in Iran formerly Persia.
It is a piece with structures in square or rectangle in the shape of a cross spreading over the whole field for fifteen medallions.
This design represents large flowers and large leaves as well as trees of life placed on a field and surrounded by a very elaborate thin border of stylized flowers.
This carpet, in fact, is particularly neat in its decoration and presents a transition between the nomadic carpet and the carpet of the cities.
These carpets are resistant and thick, knotted with very high quality wool from the mountains, it will still withstand the footsteps of a whole family for a very long time.
The pile is short and knotted by hand Despite their name and unlike different types of rugs, the Bakthiar are not knotted by members of the Bakthiar tribe, the Bakhtiaris, but by a different population that is now sedentary.
The region of Shotour produces the Bakthiar rug but also the less known Yalame rugs resembling our model in shape but whose Yalame polygons are straight, more recent in manufacture but of very good reputation.
Short fringes, restored in very good condition, edges in very good condition, shiny and clean velvet with light wear from use.
We present many Bakthiar on Proantic, all very different, as it is true to note the diversity of decorations for this type of carpet.
This rug has been professionally and environmentally cleaned.
Dimensions: Width: 136 cm (53") x Length: 200 cm (79")
