About the Item

73095 Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug 10'02 x 11'10. In this masterfully hand-knotted antique Persian Bakhtiari rug, the story of a tribe is written not with ink, but with wool—each knot a verse, each motif a memory. Woven in the heart of the Zagros Mountains, where the Bakhtiari people carried their looms across perilous mountain passes, this carpet embodies the spirit of resilience and grandeur. At the heart of the composition lies a grand, radiant medallion—its star-shaped geometry blooming outward in symmetrical poetry, drawing the eye into its depths like a mandala inviting contemplation. The crimson red field pulses with warmth, a fiery garden where stylized florals and vinery dance in a delicate balance of order and exuberance. Like a blooming orchard captured in textile form, every inch of the field is alive with floral bursts, lattice vines, and intricate foliate tendrils—each element revealing the weaver’s intimate connection with the natural world. The inky indigo background behind the central medallion adds visual depth and majesty, anchoring the entire design in a sea of celestial calm. Surrounding this botanical symphony is a powerful border that speaks of guardianship and protection. Its ivory ground forms a bold contrast, where stylized cypress trees, palmettes, and geometric rosettes align like sentinels encircling the field. These motifs, ancient in origin, are symbols of endurance and paradise—echoes of Persian gardens designed to be both earthly and eternal. Dual inner and outer guard bands add rhythmic accents, completing the visual cadence with finesse. To behold this antique Bakhtiari rug is to step into a legacy, one where craftsmanship meets storytelling, and nomadic heritage becomes tangible. It is not merely a decorative textile but a woven soul—rich with color, memory, and meaning. Whether gracing the floor of a collector’s chamber or anchoring a modern interior, it brings with it a voice from the past, whispering songs of mountains, gardens, and the enduring artistry of the human hand. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 10'02 X 11'10. Date: 1910's. Early 20th Century.
