Woven with tribal precision and a strong graphic presence, this antique Bakhtiari rug from Persia (8′10″ × 11′8″) is a celebration of pattern, symmetry, and rustic color. The field is filled with a dense lattice of diamond-shaped compartments, each brimming with traditional floral motifs, rosettes, and star medallions — a classic design element of the Bakhtiari garden style.
A rich base of brick red and midnight indigo is accented with touches of ivory, burnt orange, and soft teal, creating a warm, earthy palette that has aged beautifully into a matte antique patina. The border features a contrasting band of floral cartouches and leafy vines, framing the energetic composition with balance and restraint.
Crafted from hand-spun wool, this piece exemplifies the enduring strength and artistry of tribal Persian weaving. Ideal for libraries, dining rooms, or collectors' spaces, it brings history, authenticity, and texture to any room it inhabits.
