An antique Persian Bakhtiari carpet. This very-well colored Chahar Mahal village carpet shows a skinny lozenge lattice with reserves in mustard, spruce green, warm red, medium blue and dark brown presenting feathers, flowers and abstract vegetal designs. The nested half ashiks along the field sides are particularly noteworthy. The ivory border of this central Persian rural carpet shows more half-ashiks and tulip palmettes. A very attractive and authentic carpet.
