About the Item
78570 Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, 09'10 x 12'10. Bakhtiari rugs are made by the Bakhtiari tribe, who live in the Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari provinces of Iran. The Bakhtiari are one of Persia's oldest nomadic tribes and have been weaving rugs for centuries. In this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Bakhtiari rug, the fusion of timeless sophistication and preppy formality unfolds, echoing a traditional sensibility reminiscent of Ivy League style. The medallion and corner design, coupled with a refined color palette, are interwoven to create an atmosphere that effortlessly balances effortless beauty with relaxed refinement.
Set against a red backdrop, a large-scale navy blue medallion takes center stage, embellished with a concentric red and white star flower radiating from its core. This distinctive design, marked by angular precision, distinguishes the Bakhtiari rug, providing a departure from other formal Persian styles. Blooming palmettes, Serrated leaves, stylized florals, angular buds, and rectilinear vines engage in a mesmerizing dance across the rug, offering a visual feast of captivating patterns. Enhanced by intricate detailing, these botanical forms come to life against the red and navy blue backgrounds, creating a sense of visual depth and strength, as though they were suspended on the surface of the carpet.
As your gaze wanders, the corner spandrels echo the medallion design, contributing to the overall coherence of the rug. The visual complexity, characterized by delineated shapes and bold blue undulating vinery, introduces an esoteric juxtaposition within the geometric design. Framed with a densely patterned verdure border and enclosed with floral meandering guard borders, this antique Persian area rug showcases meticulous craftsmanship and an unwavering attention to detail. A living relic, it stands as a silent witness to the nomadic roots and dynamic personality of the Bakhtiari tribes. It's like a magic carpet, but without the whole flying thing. So, whether you're aiming to impress your guests or simply seeking a touch of laid-back luxury, this rugged beauty has got you covered.
