Antique Bakhtiari Hallway Runner Wool Brown Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece of textile art originates from the Bakhtiari tribes, renowned weavers within the tradition of Iranian Persian rugs. Characterized by robust construction and a highly geometric aesthetic, this runner exemplifies the durable and culturally rich textiles produced in the Zagros Mountains region during the early 20th century.

The structure of the design employs a series of stepped, geometric panels running the length of the runner. Within these panels, highly stylized interpretations of the Tree of Life motif are rendered in deep rust and blue, anchored by a warm, light brown field. This segmented approach, while visually distinct, maintains the continuous flow characteristic of allover rugs used effectively in long corridors and transitional spaces. Note: This item falls under the category of Small Scatter Size Rugs (5.0ft x 10.02ft) based on its dimensions.

Woven entirely from high-quality, durable wool, the palette relies heavily on rich, saturated vegetable dyes. The dominant field color establishes the piece within the category of brown earth tone color rugs, providing a grounding neutrality that beautifully contrasts with the intricate details rendered in indigo, madder red, and black, ensuring both visual depth and historical authenticity.

Dating to the 1900s, this piece represents a genuine example of early 20th-century tribal weaving, retaining the robust character and authenticity sought after in true antique rugs. The practical dimensions inherent to hallway runner rugs make this Bakhtiari suitable for adding historical gravitas and defining movement within modern interiors, bridging utility and heritage seamlessly. The size aligns with Small Scatter Size Rugs (5.0ft x 10.02ft). See less
