The field of this antique Bakhtiari rug from Persia's Zagros Mountains, dating to circa 1920, presents a captivating all-over floral design. Hand-knotted using durable wool and rich natural dyes, it densely repeats stylized botanical forms, creating a continuous, intricate pattern across the surface. A sophisticated interplay between dominant hues of warm red oxide and deep marine blue defines the composition, appearing in both background elements and floral details. This dense arrangement of blossoms and vines generates a lush, tapestry-like effect typical of fine workshop weavings from the region. Framing the vibrant expanse are classic Persian floral main and guard borders, the main displaying interconnected palmettes and rosettes against a red oxide ground.
