From the 1920s and 1930s, this rug originates from the village of Chahar Shotour in Iran. Its period of creation corresponds to the end of the Kadjar dynasty. ## The Kadjar dynasty or Kadjars: ( Qājār, Qadjar, Qajar, Persian: قاجار ) is a Turkmen dynasty that reigned over Iran from 1786 to 1925. It is a Bakthiar with a central medallion, very different from the usual structures in squares or rectangles spread over the entire field. The medallion has the shape of a rhombus as a whole, and its heart has the shape of a large flower and large leaves.
The field is composed of large stylized, colored and tied flowers with a very large application of symmetry, medallions, decorations, spandrels. ## Sown in the field and next to the other graceful plant figures, "boteh-e-miri", princely flowers are also found in the main border which surrounds the whole; This type of Bakthiar carpet is not the most common, it remains a "nomadic" style of carpet while having a decoration approaching city carpets called "workshop carpets".
This room is particularly neat in its decoration and it presents a certain transition between the nomadic carpet and the carpet of the cities. These rugs are resistant knotted with very high quality wool from the mountains.
Despite their name and unlike different types of rugs, the Bakthiar are not knotted by members of the Bakthiar tribe, the Bakhtiaris, but by another population that is now sedentary. The Chahar Mahal region produces the Bakthiar carpet but also the less known Yalame, more recent in manufacture but of very good reputation. A very slight wear due to its good age, the edges are impeccable, it is a finely tight carpet, centenary or almost and of very good quality.
This rug has been professionally and environmentally cleaned.
