About the Item

61109 Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, 10'09 x 13'09. Borne from the heart of the Zagros Mountains and steeped in the legacy of tribal mastery, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Bakhtiari rug is a resplendent celebration of nature, symmetry, and ancestral pride. The luminous crimson field blazes like a Persian garden at the height of spring, blooming with stylized florals and arabesque vinery that twist and unfurl in lyrical balance. At its heart lies a subtle medallion echoing outwards into a radiant allover composition, forming a visual symphony of flowers, vines, and palmettes that dance across the surface like poetry in motion. The artistry of the Bakhtiari weavers shines through in their intricate manipulation of botanical motifs—blossoming rosettes, serrated leaves, lotus-like forms—all arranged with rhythmic elegance. Their placement is not arbitrary but deeply symbolic, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature and humanity’s eternal yearning for paradise. The weavers, often women of the tribe, infused these designs with memories of mountain gardens and the spiritual presence of the land, rendering each petal and tendril a prayer in wool. Framed by a richly ornamented arabesque palmette border teeming with scrolling vinery and elaborate rosettes, the Bakhtiari rug achieves a classical Persian grandeur. The border's dark ground creates an architectural frame that grounds the composition, adding a regal gravitas to the lush interior. Twin guard bands, delicate yet deliberate, serve as the ornamental echo to the rug’s floral song, reinforcing the harmony and grace that characterize the finest Bakhtiari creations. This antique Bakhtiari rug is more than a textile—it is a woven manuscript, recounting the quiet dignity and artistic brilliance of a nomadic people. Its saturated colors, now softened by time, whisper of endurance, devotion, and craft passed through generations. Ideal for those who seek both splendor and story, it is a living heirloom—a garden forever in bloom beneath one’s feet. Rendered in variegated shades of red, navy blue, dark green, rose, cerulean, beige, tan, pink, and maroon with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 10'09 x 13'09.
