About the Item

78093 Vintage Persian Bakhtiari Rug, 10'01 x 15'02. This hand knotted wool vintage Persian Bakhtiari rug is a testament to the grandeur of nomadic artistry, where each thread tells a story of heritage, tradition, and the unyielding spirit of the Bakhtiari people. A luminous medallion radiates from the heart of the rug, its starburst form echoing celestial rhythms and the eternal cycle of life. The interplay of deep indigo and fiery red ignites the senses, drawing the eye to the intricate lattice of floral motifs, arabesques, and vine-scrolls that seem to sway in an unending dance of botanical splendor. Surrounding the central medallion, a field of labyrinthine vinery unfolds like an enchanted garden. Rich crimson and earthy umber intertwine with cobalt blues, forming a symphony of color that captures the essence of nature’s boundless beauty. Each floral motif, meticulously rendered, whispers of spring’s renewal, the quiet bloom of a desert rose, and the abundance of Persian orchards where pomegranate and cypress flourish under golden sunlight. The border, a regal frame of alternating blossoms and serrated leaves, offers a rhythmic counterpoint to the rug’s flourishing field. Delicate guard bands of floral meanders embrace the composition, enhancing its visual harmony while preserving the sacred geometry that defines Persian textile art. The worn patina of time graces this piece, softening its hues into an alluring tapestry of memory and endurance. A Bakhtiari rug such as this is more than a woven masterpiece; it is a bridge between past and present, between artisan and admirer. Its presence lends depth to any space, evoking an air of cultivated elegance and timeworn charm. Whether in a grand hall or an intimate retreat, this Persian treasure is a legacy of craftsmanship, a vision of beauty, and a silent storyteller of Persian culture. Rendered in variegated shades of red, navy blue, beige, indigo, pink, berry, cerulean, taupe, rose, orange-coral, and maroon with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear Throughout. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 10'01 x 15'02. Pile Height: 0.21 of an inch. Date: 1940's. Mid-20th Century.
