Old Bakhtiar Rug, 133 X 198 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool In Persia, Iran, Early 20th Century, 1900-1920

This pleasant old Bakthiar circa 1900-1920 measures 133 cm x 198 cm in length, is in very good condition while possessing very fresh colors.
A border braid surrounds the entire carpet.
This beautiful piece comes from the region of Chahar Mahal (Shotour) in Iran, formerly Persia, slightly close to Ahvaz (see map).
It is a Bakthiar with a central medallion, two pendants, four large spandrels with an incredible blue background and fine ivory borders, very different from the usual square or rectangle structures spread over the entire field.
The cruciferous-shaped medallion presents a large flower and large stylized leaves, placed on a brown, flowery field.
The field is composed of large stylized, colorful and knotted flowers with a very great application of symmetry.
Note the work of the spandrels and the border.
This type of Bakhtiar rug remains a style of so-called nomadic rug, the change in wool color as well as the asymmetrical shape found on certain models, leads one to think that these rugs remain a home production and not a workshop one.
This carpet, in fact, is particularly careful in its decoration and presents a certain transition between the nomadic carpet and the urban carpet.
The Bakhtiar are very resistant, tied with very good quality wool from the mountains, it will withstand the footsteps of an entire family for a long time. 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.
Edges in good condition, shiny and clean velvet.
This rug has been professionally and eco-friendly cleaned.
