It has very fresh and vibrant colors including this almost dark coral rust.
From the beginning of the 20th century, around 1930-1950, this carpet comes from the region of Chahar Mahal (Shotour) in Iran.
It is a Bakthiar with medallions in the shape of diamonds or conjoined mandorlas, hemmed with golden yellow, very different from the usual structures in squares or rectangles spreading over the entire field that we find regularly or large medallions like the Tafresh.
The diamonds are decorated with cypresses, birds, stylized trees of life and mainly roses, the colors are numerous and vibrant.
The field is made up of fifteen diamonds, skillfully colored and knotted with great application of symmetry.
This type of Bakthiar rug is not the most common, it remains a so-called nomadic style of rug, using colors specific to their repertoire.
This carpet is particularly careful in its decoration and it presents a certain transition between the nomadic carpet and the urban carpet.
These rugs are resistant, knotted with very high quality wools from the mountains.
Despite their name and unlike different types of carpets, 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 lesser known Yalame carpets, more recent in production but with a very good reputation.
Very slight wear due to its good age, the edges are in very good condition.
It is a finely packed carpet, almost a century old and of very good quality.
This rug has been professionally and eco-friendly cleaned.
