While the tribe is best known for the geometric “garden” compartment rugs, its village workshops also produced a more \u003cstrong\u003ecurvilinear, floral repertoire\u003c\/strong\u003e — and this piece belongs firmly to that second tradition. The result is a robust, warm-hearted rug with the colour confidence of a tribal weaving and the drawing of a town carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a genuine \u003cstrong\u003emid-twentieth-century\u003c\/strong\u003e piece, hand-knotted in pure Zagros highland wool and coloured with traditional vegetable and mineral dyes. Decades of use have given it a gentle, even patina — the mark of an authentic vintage rug rather than a new production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eDesign and Colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is built around a \u003cstrong\u003ecentral floral medallion\u003c\/strong\u003e with matching spandrels in the corners, set on a deep \u003cstrong\u003emadder-red field\u003c\/strong\u003e and framed by a broad \u003cstrong\u003eindigo-blue main border\u003c\/strong\u003e. The field and medallion are filled with finely drawn flowerheads, rosettes, palmettes and curling vinework, with small birds worked into the pattern — a hallmark of the more pictorial Bakhtiar weavings. The palette is richly polychrome: madder red and indigo carry ivory, rose and old-pink, soft greens, saffron-yellow and touches of brown. It is a lively, optimistic rug rather than a muted one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e300 × 200 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e (6.0 m²) this is a generous room-size rug.
