About the Item

61350 Distressed Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, 10'06 x 12'08. This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Bakhtiari rug is a true testament to the artistry and cultural heritage of the Bakhtiari tribespeople, who call the rugged Zagros Mountains their home. The grandeur of its Chahar Bagh (four gardens) design and the masterful craftsmanship reflect the weavers’ enduring connection to nature and their dreams. Featuring the iconic Garden Panel Design, or Khesti, this Persian Bakhtiari rug exudes timeless allure, enriched by its antique wash that lends a softened patina to its vivid hues and intricate motifs. The field of this captivating Bakhtiari rug is a stunning array of ogee-shaped compartments, each meticulously filled with botanical treasures. Cypress trees, tree of life motifs, roses, and intricate floral tendrils dance harmoniously within each panel, their artistry paying homage to the lush landscapes and symbolic traditions of Persian culture. These esoteric tribal motifs carry profound meanings, from the cypress tree’s representation of eternal life to the roses’ embodiment of beauty and love, offering a glimpse into the hopes and aspirations of its weaver. The carefully rendered compartments create a rhythmic composition that draws the eye and evokes a serene garden landscape. Framing the central design is a richly ornamental border, densely adorned with floral patterns that provide a perfect contrast to the structured elegance of the panel design. The border is further accentuated by inner and outer floral meander guard bands, adding layers of depth and refinement. These intricate details not only enhance the visual appeal of the rug but also symbolize the abundance and vitality found in nature. The harmonious interplay of these elements showcases the Bakhtiari weavers’ exceptional skill and their ability to blend tradition with artistry. Reflecting nostalgic charm and laid-back luxury, this distressed Bakhtiari rug carries a sense of history and character, making it a unique and enchanting addition to any space. Its weathered beauty tells a story of resilience and tradition, while its intricate patterns and symbolic motifs create a connection to the natural world. Whether adorning a modern interior or a traditional setting, this antique Persian rug transforms its surroundings with its timeless elegance and rich cultural narrative. Distressed. Age Wear. Abrash.
