About the Item
Discover a truly magnificent masterpiece of design and fine weaving with this Late 19th Century Persian Bakhtiari Bibibaft Area Rug, meticulously hand-woven in the 4th quarter of the 1800s by the skilled Bakhtiari tribes of Western Persia. At over 100 years old, this rug is a rare and exceptional example of "Bibibaft" (Grandmother's Weave), referring to its extremely tight and fine weave.
This captivating rug features a highly sought-after "vase pattern," a theme also known as the "Garden of Paradise". The design exquisitely depicts vases and charming birds perched on tree branches, all gracefully arranged on a luminous pale yellow field. This serene backdrop beautifully highlights the intricate details of the motifs. The composition is further enriched by a striking red border and elegant French blue corners, creating a harmonious and sophisticated palette.
The vibrant and diverse range of colors in this tribal masterpiece is a direct result of the use of natural vegetable dyes. These organic pigments create a beautiful palate of wonderful hues, including verdant green, serene blue, sunny yellow, rich red, earthy brown, and delicate pink, adding remarkable depth and authenticity.
What makes this tribal masterpiece even more desirable and collectible is its near square size, a particularly rare and sought-after format for antique and vintage rugs, offering versatile placement options for various interior designs.

19th Century Persian Heriz Serapi Rug in Rust Red, French Blue, Ivory, Navy
Located in Barrington, IL
A magnificent late 19th-century Persian Heriz Serapi rug featuring a bold rust red field with striking corner spandrels in abrash French blue and soft pink. The richly layered central medallion is rendered in navy, French blue, red, and golden yellow, radiating balance and symmetry. A deep navy border encloses the composition with intricate floral and geometric motifs in a vibrant palette of green, pink, blue, and red. Hand-knotted using vegetable-dyed wool, this rug showcases exquisite abrash — the natural variation in tone that gives antique rugs their luminous, painterly character. With its dynamic design, refined palette, and exceptional craftsmanship, this Serapi is both a work of art and a timeless foundation for sophisticated interiors.
