About the Item

Technical Overview This antique Persian Bakhtiar rug dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and originates from the Bakhtiar weaving regions of western Iran. Woven in a standard medium rectangular format, it measures approximately 5 ft 8 in x 8 ft 8 in (about 173 x 264 cm), a versatile size suitable for a wide range of interior settings. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation and represents a one-of-a-kind antique textile with strong tribal lineage and enduring material integrity. Design Analysis The composition is an allover repeating pattern with no central medallion, relying instead on dense, tightly organized rows of geometric floral rosettes, hooked motifs, and small star-like fillers. A single wide main border, flanked by narrow inner and outer guard stripes, provides a clear architectural frame. The field is dominated by a saturated burnt orange ground, contrasted by a darker navy border and supported by pale beige, russet brown, and golden tan accents. Mild abrash is visible in both the orange field and navy border, lending depth and visual movement without disrupting the overall balance. Weave and Performance Knotted with asymmetrical (Persian) knots at an estimated density of 100–150 KPSI, the rug offers a durable yet flexible structure. The medium pile height of approximately 6 mm creates a resilient surface with moderate sheen and a balanced hand. A woven cotton foundation and intact selvedges contribute to structural stability, making the rug appropriate for low to moderate traffic areas such as living rooms, studies, bedrooms, and formal sitting rooms. Professional Application This Bakhtiar rug integrates seamlessly into traditional, eclectic, and collected interiors that favor warm, saturated palettes and strong pattern. Its medium scale works well under seating arrangements, in libraries, or as a grounding element in formal spaces. With high rarity and prestige ratings, it also supports long-term value retention, making it suitable for both decorative and investment-driven design projects. Condition Care The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage. Fringes, ends, and selvedges are intact, showing only minor irregularities typical of handwoven antiques. Professional cleaning is recommended, with dye testing advised prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of high-alkaline agents, in keeping with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
