About the Item
This magnificent antique Persian Bakhtiari rug (c. 1920s) is a genuine piece of textile history, renowned for its collectible Khesti or 'Garden Panel' design . Hand-knotted from durable, naturally dyed wool, this rug tells a compelling story of its tribal origins and Persian garden traditions.
The design is highly geometric and visually complex, divided into a grid of dozens of small, square or rectangular medallions. Each panel holds a distinct, meticulously drawn motif—including stylized flora, cypress trees, vases, and abstract tribal symbols—creating the visual effect of an enclosed Persian garden seen from above.
The colors are deeply saturated and historic, featuring a dominant palette of deep indigo, terracotta red, saffron yellow, and olive green on a rich, dark ground, which provides exceptional depth and contrast. The rug's substantial weight and tight knotting speak to the high quality expected of Bakhtiari production.
Measuring 4'8" x 6'9" (142 cm x 206 cm), its versatile size is ideal for defining a reading nook, anchoring a dining area, or serving as a powerful, museum-quality statement piece on a wall. It is offered in good original antique condition, showing the beautiful patina and character earned over a century of life.
