About the Item
61417 Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug Runner, 03'03 x 13'02. Step into a world where heritage, artistry, and nobility converge—this hand-knotted antique Persian Bakhtiari runner is more than a textile; it’s a luxurious journey through one of Iran’s most storied weaving traditions. Woven in the early 20th century at the crossroads of tribal memory and artistic sophistication, this extraordinary masterpiece carries an aura of prestige that instantly elevates any space it inhabits. Its elongated form and regal presence make it the kind of heirloom that discerning collectors prize—rare, expressive, and steeped in cultural reverence.
At the heart of this exquisite work of art is a sumptuous crimson field—deep, romantic, and undeniably commanding. Across its length unfolds a spirited allover pattern, an intricate choreography of stylized blossoms, serrated leaves, angular vinery, and symbolic botanical forms that pay homage to the Bakhtiari tribe’s love for abundant gardens. These signature motifs have a sense of movement and vitality, as if the rug itself is breathing with the seasons. Their abstract geometry and joyful color palette—ink blue, emerald, saffron, ivory, and rose—create a bold visual rhythm that feels both timeless and artistically daring.
Framing this luxuriant field is an ivory border that radiates poise and refinement. The contrast of pale ivory against the commanding red center establishes a sense of balance and compositional clarity, while its sequence of angular florals and crisp serrated leaves adds a sophisticated architectural cadence. These borders are more than decorative—they symbolize protection and continuity, enveloping the lush interior with a sense of security and harmony. It’s a detail collectors cherish, as it speaks to the deep ritual understanding woven into Bakhtiari craftsmanship.
For an elite interior—whether a grand hallway, a refined library, or an elegantly appointed dining space—this precious runner becomes a signature statement, whispering of heritage and worldliness. Its vibrant palette, powerful symmetry, and exceptional handwork make it a rare acquisition capable of transforming a room into an evocative, museum-level experience. This is a piece for the connoisseur who values legacy as much as beauty: a truly one-of-a-kind treasure that brings the majesty of Persian artistry into modern luxury living.
