Antique Persian Bakhtiari rare Rug, The prince and His bird Guards

About the Item

The color is balance, the ivory center in opposite of the darker border and design. The same way the design is balance, a scene of the prince with his gards the large birds in the center and a pleasant border design with running water and trees. The tribal weavers of Baktiari are were often Turkish, and they employed the Turkish knot, Gourde, to weave these creations. The Gourde is a symmetrical knot, as opposed to the asymmetrical knot of many traditionally Persian creations. Additionally, antique Baktiari rugs regularly enjoy a low cut pile. Weavers trimmed the pile in order to enhance the appearance of the design. In addition to a broad range of design and color, these rugs were designed technically to enhance the artistry of the woven design. Local weavers produced a spectacular array of traditional patterns ranging from dense allover motifs to lozenge-shaped medallions that are placed over chic monochromatic grounds. Although angular motifs are favored, some of the finer Herati patterns feature subtle curvilinear details. One of the charming constants of antique Baktiari rugs is the importance placed on creating richly detailed borders that rival the spectacular patterns featured within the field. Weavers in Baktiari consistently put great effort into creating exquisite borders. Baktiari-pattern has its name from the tribal of Baktiar. It is a common pattern found mainly on handmade carpets from Iran. It comprises of a flower inside a rhomb surrounded by four acanthus-leaves. These leafs are sometimes called fishes, because of its similarity, and the pattern is often used on carpets with an all-over/repeated motif. Measures: 31" x 24"
