5'1" x 9' (155cm x 274cm) Iran, Bakhtiari Tribes: Circa 1900 Knotted pile: wool
$5,450
Antique rug woven by the Bakhtiari tribes featuring the so-called "gol farang" design. Literally meaning "foreign flower" and possibly inspired by European textiles, this was a popular design in many weaving regions of Iran in the 19th century. One of the most graceful renderings of this type we've ever seen with a subtle color palette.
Condition & Remarks
Good. Gentle wear consistent with age, some well-done repairs.
