Unusual Garden Bakhtiari Rug. 116 x 153 in.

Vivid early 20th-century Bakhtiari carpet with a dynamic "garden" or "panel" design. Each compartment is filled with stylized floral arrangements, forming a tapestry of alternating colors—rich reds, forest greens, saffron, and midnight blue. Set against a deep espresso field, the central panel is framed by a highly detailed border featuring blossoming vines and rosettes, while the top band showcases two lions flanking a mosque.
