About the Item
61109 Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug, 10'09 x 13'09. From the storied looms of the Zagros Mountains, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Bakhtiari rug emerges as a masterpiece of cultural prestige and timeless artistry. Its radiant crimson field evokes the richness of a Persian garden at the height of spring, a visual feast of stylized blossoms, scrolling vinery, and arabesque tendrils unfurling in harmonious cadence. At its center rests a discreet medallion, not dominating but guiding the eye outward into an allover composition that celebrates nature’s eternal rhythm. The result is a symphony in wool—balanced, lyrical, and evocative of paradise itself.
The artistry of Bakhtiari weavers, often tribal women weaving with both skill and memory, is revealed in the subtle symbolism of each motif. Blossoming rosettes convey beauty and abundance; serrated leaves embody vitality and resilience; lotus-like petals offer spiritual renewal. Each element is more than ornamental—it is a meditation on life, endurance, and the sacred landscapes of their homeland. Through these woven symbols, this cherished treasure becomes both a decorative marvel and a vessel of meaning, where every precious knot is infused with personal history and collective tradition.
Encircling the exceptional field is an elaborate palmette-and-vine border, a frame of regal sophistication that lends architectural weight to the composition. Its dark ground intensifies the vibrancy of the interior garden, while scrolling arabesques and flourishing rosettes create a sense of endless continuity. Delicate guard bands flank this grand border, echoing the motifs within and providing rhythm, order, and a sense of containment—as though the rug itself were a walled garden of paradise, forever preserved in thread.
More than a floor covering, this antique Persian Bakhtiari rug is a rare heirloom—an artifact of cultural identity and artistic mastery. Its colors, softened yet still luminous with the patina of age, speak of resilience and refinement. For the discerning collector or aesthete, this exquisite work of art offers not only prestige and exclusivity but also a direct connection to a living heritage. In placing such a piece within one’s home, one does not simply acquire a rug, but a woven narrative of beauty, meaning, and timeless legacy.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, navy blue, dark green, rose, cerulean, beige, tan, pink, and maroon with other accent colors.
