About the Item
Antique Oversized Persian Bakhtiari Wool Carpet
Size: 14'2" × 19'5" (432 × 592 cm).
This striking antique Persian Bakhtiari carpet, dating to circa 1900, is a grand example of tribal craftsmanship elevated to monumental scale. This oversized masterpiece captures the intricate artistry and bold visual rhythm that defines the best of Bakhtiari weaving traditions.
The design presents a stunning symmetrical layout of interconnected medallions, rosettes, and floral latticework, structured within a visually commanding allover pattern. Unlike more curvilinear Persian styles, Bakhtiari rugs are known for their graphic and geometric structure, which is prominently featured here through diamond-shaped medallions interspersed with stylized floral motifs and angular vines.
What makes this piece especially captivating is its rich and earthy color palette. Tones of deep indigo, copper, camel, pistachio green, ivory, and sky blue dance across the field, enlivening the tightly arranged pattern with vibrancy and depth. The use of natural vegetable dyes lends the rug a warm patina that only time and quality materials can achieve.
The main border, densely filled with classic blossoming shrubs and palmette motifs, frames the central composition with a bold navy backdrop, creating a strong visual anchor. Multiple minor borders provide a layered, architectural sense of movement and balance.
Hand-knotted in high-grade wool, this rug reflects both the rugged integrity and decorative sophistication associated with antique Bakhtiari carpets. Traditionally woven by semi-nomadic tribes in western Iran, these rugs were made to last generations, prized not only for their durability but for their rich symbolic motifs and dynamic aesthetic.
This exceptional carpet would make a commanding focal point in a large living space, gallery, or grand hall, bringing both historical gravitas and artistic distinction to its environment.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
