Handmade Antique Bakhtiar Kilim Carpet 1880s 323 x 133cm (10.6′ x 4.4′)

This antique Bakhtiar kilim dates to the late 19th century and is a rare example of early tribal flatweave design. Pieces of this age and quality are increasingly difficult to find, especially in such a well-preserved condition. The design features a strong all-over geometric pattern with an unusual and balanced colour scheme. The layout is bold but controlled, giving the kilim presence without feeling busy. Its fine weave adds clarity to the pattern and allows the details to stand out clearly. Made from wool, the kilim has a firm structure with a smooth, flat surface. It works well in both traditional and modern interiors, either as a floor piece or displayed as a decorative textile. With its age, scale, and distinctive design, this Bakhtiar kilim is ideal for collectors or interiors that value originality and character.
