About the Item
76757 Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, 13'02 x 17'04. Immerse yourself in the regal heritage of the Bakhtiari tribespeople from the rugged Zagros Mountains, as classic elegance seamlessly converges with the sophistication reminiscent of Ivy League style in this hand-knotted wool oversized antique Persian Bakhtiari rug. Woven with meticulous care by skilled craftswomen, this magnificent piece pays homage to the traditional designs and enduring allure of Bakhtiari rugs. The corner medallion design, an ode to Persian craftsmanship, evokes a sense of timeless opulence that mirrors the distinguished ambiance of Ivy League traditions.
Intricately crafted on a canvas of abrashed red, the antique Bakhtiari rug unfolds a narrative of sophistication. A resplendent red medallion takes center stage against a navy blue backdrop, flanked by navy blue pendants that radiate a collegiate charm. Within the medallion, an ivory star flower and palmette pendants are surrounded by rectilinear florals, creating a visual symphony that echoes the Bakhtiari tribe's profound connection to nature.
The corner spandrels, equally elaborate and refined, echo the grandeur of center medallion design, showcasing the weavers' commitment to balance and harmony. The allover pattern, a dance of geometric botanicals and angular undulating cloudband vines, adds an extra layer of sophistication to the abrashed red field, reflecting the weavers' mastery of their craft.
As we explore the lush borders, an ivory Herat border and floral meander guard bands frame this masterpiece with a touch of opulence, showcasing the Bakhtiari rug's roots in Persian traditions. This oversized Bakhtiari rug, a testament to the tribe's dedication and skill, carries the lanolin-rich, durable wool and luminous colors that define rugs woven for personal use within the tribe.
Indulge in the prestige of this oversized Bakhtiari rug, where every knot weaved is a testament to the enduring artistry of a group of highly skilled weavers and dyers. Their commitment to creating a rug that transcends time is as palpable as the lush garden motifs and intricate geometric patterns that adorn this masterpiece. In the grand tradition of Bakhtiari rugs, this oversized gem offers not just a piece of decor but a narrative woven with threads of history, culture, and the enduring spirit of the Zagros Mountains.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, navy blue, ivory, tan, brown, pink and verdigris with other accent colors.

Antique Persian Heriz Palatial Carpet, 13'04 x 18'05
Located in Dallas, TX
78765 Oversized Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 13'04 x 18'05. Oversized antique Persian Heriz rugs are a specific category of Heriz rugs crafted in larger-than-average dimensions, offering expansive coverage for grand interior spaces. Originating from the Heris region in northwest Iran, these rugs boast the distinctive rectilinear geometric designs and meticulous motif outlining characteristic of the Heriz style. Traditionally handcrafted from high-quality wool using age-old weaving techniques, oversized antique Persian Heriz rugs were often utilized in spacious rooms such as grand living areas, formal dining rooms, and ceremonial halls, where their impressive size and intricate designs could command attention and fill the space with warmth and elegance.
In this meticulously hand-knotted wool oversized antique Persian Heriz rug, timeless sophistication intertwines with enduring elegance, presenting a grandeur masterpiece that embodies the durability inherent in Heriz carpets. Crafted from high-quality wool sourced from sheep grazing on the copper-enriched pastures of Mount Sabalan, this Persian Heriz rug stands as a contemporary heirloom, echoing the robustness of 19th-century examples often auctioned by prestigious houses in the United States and Europe.
Within the expanse of this large room-sized Heriz rug, perpetually posh aesthetics blend seamlessly with preppy Ivy League formality, creating a captivating visual symphony. At the heart of the design lies a superimposed prominent octofoil medallion, anchored with flaming palmette pendants at either end, commanding attention on an abrashed red field. Surrounding this focal point are an array of serrated leaves, angular buds, stylized florals, curved sickle leaves, rosettes, and ambiguous tribal motifs, each element dancing harmoniously to infuse the fabric with a touch of mystique.
Enhancing the rug's visual complexity are the bold earth-tone colors, characteristic of Heriz rugs, while the ivory corner spandrels elegantly mirror the intricate designs within the field, creating an esoteric juxtaposition within the overall geometric pattern. Framing the composition is a Herati border, enclosed by double inner and outer floral meander guard borders, a testament to the rug's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Reflecting both a traditional sensibility and a timeless expression of cultural pride, this antique Persian Heriz rug subtly evokes a sense of patriotism with its classic iterations of red, ivory, and navy blue. With its iconic styling and enduring elegance, this grandeur woven wonder radiates character and warmth, inviting you to immerse yourself in its storied legacy.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, blue, ivory, tan, navy blue, beige, cerulean, green, rose, sky blue, and verdigris with other accent colors.
