About the Item
75358 Vintage Persian Bibibaff Bakhtiari Bakhtiari Rug, 07'03 x 09'09. Woven in the mountainous heart of the Bakhtiari lands, this hand-knotted wool Bibibaff Bakhtiari rug represents the pinnacle of tribal Persian weaving. Distinguished for its exceptional knot density and master craftsmanship, the Bibibaff is the most prestigious subset of Bakhtiari rugs, produced for khans and elite patrons rather than for ordinary trade. What sets this piece apart is its rare Gol Farang design, a jubilant profusion of “foreign flowers” rendered with painterly flair, demonstrating the weavers’ embrace of both Persian garden symbolism and European-inspired florals.
At the center, a lush floral medallion blooms like a living bouquet, radiating outward in layers of roses, blossoms, and stylized greenery. The field, awash with coral, indigo, ivory, and jewel-toned shades, is animated with vibrant abrash, giving the exceptional composition movement and depth. This design—both romantic and aristocratic—embodies the Bakhtiari weaver’s gift of transforming gardens into textiles, where each precious knot is a petal, each row a vine, together forming a paradise that endures.
The exclusive border frames this exuberant field with alternating floral cartouches, echoing the rhythm of palace garden walls lined with tiled mosaics. A delicate strand of pearls, woven like a necklace around the central field, unifies the dynamic floral abundance with an air of refinement. This interplay of joy and restraint is precisely what defines the Bibibaff Bakhtiari: an heirloom textile balancing tribal exuberance with courtly elegance.
To own a Gol Farang Bibibaff Bakhtiari is to acquire a rarity reserved for connoisseurs at the highest echelon of collecting. Its exuberant florals speak to abundance and prosperity, its craftsmanship to legacy and permanence. More than a rug, this is a cultural artifact, a symbol of prestige, and a woven garden that will forever bloom within the walls of any distinguished collection.
