Antique Bakhtiari made in Iran with a paneled field of seventy-seven pictogram frames surrounded by a light red pictogram border; handmade 100% wool pile Persian oriental rug; measures approximately 9'10" x 10'5"; in Good overall condition with slight fading and wear as well as some loss of threading; very minimal staining. The Bakhtiari tribes people of the rugged Zagros Mountains are famed for their perilous annual migrations over snow-capped peaks and for their lustrous, deep-toned antique tribal carpets displaying grand scale, cornucopian designs. Although they traditionally produced only geometric designs, the Bakhtiaris—along with the Armenian, Kurdish and other weavers of the Chahar Mahal—were also influenced by the floral carpets of the Persian cities, especially those of nearby Isfahan. This gave birth to an innovative and distinctive stylization found in these fantastic and durable rugs.
