About the Item

A restrained palette of mochas and ivories is what differentiates this piece from most Bakhtiari rugs of similar vintage. This unusual colouration instantly confers to the traditional Persianate pattern an allure of Modernism, as the colours fit perfectly the 20th century Modernist palette. The allover design of weeping willows is known as 'bid majnun' and is among the favourite pattern among the rugs of Azerbaijan. The infinite, large-scale repeat of this design is the ideal network onto which one can arrange furniture. The combination of all of these elements makes this a perfect candidate for a contemporary design interior as it brings in a touch of antique tradition and warmth but in today's spirit. The very good condition makes it suitable as an area rug also in situations of relatively high traffic.
