Late 19th Century Inscribed Persian Bakhtiari Carpet ( - 224 x 404) The inscription is as follows By Order of His High Excellency Master Sultan Mohmad Khan Sardar Ishjaa May His Shadow Endure, The Work of Bakhtiari.
Antique Bakhtiari Persian 1890s Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of weaving from the Qajar era showcases the robust and highly detailed artistry typical of its origin. The Bakhtiari tribes, known for their durable construction and vivid palettes, created pieces that are cornerstones of the history of Persia.
The field is dominated by a striking lattice structure composed of interlocking diamond medallions. This complex, repeating arrangement ensures that the eye is constantly engaged, offering a visual density characteristic of allover rugs. Within each compartment, distinct tribal and stylized botanical motifs are rendered in miniature, demonstrating the weaver's mastery of confined space.
A rich and deeply saturated color story defines this piece, utilizing natural dyes that have matured beautifully over the last century. Tones of terracotta, deep indigo, saffron yellow, and ivory are juxtaposed against darker aubergine grounds, creating a vibrant yet balanced composition. Given its size, this piece functions perfectly as a foundational element in contemporary design schemes, fitting the dimensions of many room size rugs.
Woven before the turn of the 20th century, this rug represents a high point in tribal weaving before the full influence of commercial production took hold. The integrity of the wool and the clarity of the design remain remarkably preserved, making it a highly desirable acquisition for collectors of fine antique rugs.
