About the Item

This antique Persian Bakhtiar runner, woven circa 1900–1920, presents a richly detailed tribal composition crafted in durable wool on a cotton foundation. It measures approximately 3 ft 4 in x 11 ft 1 in (about 1.02 m x 3.38 m), placing it in the classic runner size class suited to long, narrow circulation spaces. Fully hand knotted using the asymmetrical (Persian) knot, it reflects traditional village weaving from the Bakhtiari cultural region of Iran, where wool quality and structural endurance have long been defining attributes. Its age places it firmly in the antique category with enduring collectible appeal. The field displays an allover pattern anchored by a sequence of large starburst floral medallions, surrounded by serrated leaves, rosettes, lattice blossoms, and sinuous vine scrolls. The warm rust red ground is balanced by dark navy motifs, camel highlights, and soft blue accents that lend harmony and subtle depth. A wide navy main border with multiple narrow guard borders frames the design with high contrast and rhythmic tribal ornamentation. Abrash—gentle tonal shifts within the yarn—is evident along the length and attests to authentic village dyeing traditions. With a medium pile around 6 mm and a dense construction in the 150–225 KPSI range, the runner provides excellent resilience for hallways, entries, kitchen galley spaces, and bedroom sides—places where durable wool and pattern complexity help mask daily wear. Its structural integrity, moderate handle, and strong cotton foundation ensure lasting function and stability under regular foot traffic. The rug is classified in excellent antique condition, showing no stains, no visible repairs, no significant edge loss, and color stability appropriate for early natural and mixed-synthetic dyes. Proper care includes padded support, gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, and avoidance of harsh cleaners to preserve its historic character.
