792. a superlative old Bakhtiari Persian runner

792. Provenance: Bakhtiari tribe, Central/south Persia

Size: 370 x 138 cm

Age: circa 1930

Condition: Very good.

Notes:  The colours in many Bakhtiari rugs are wonderful, but in this piece they are truly exceptional. Bright and vivid natural dyes give this stylized floral runner a real joyfulness. The changes in colours (notbable on the indigo, one end compared to the other) add to the quirky tribal inspired charm.
