Royal Garden — Antique Bakhtiari Rug from Persia (14′6″ × 23′)
A true collector’s piece, this antique hand-knotted Bakhtiari rug from Persia (14′6″ × 23′) is a majestic embodiment of tribal heritage and enduring artistry. Its grand proportions are matched by a richly layered design: a central medallion in deep midnight blue and ivory sits atop a glowing carnelian red field, surrounded by intricate floral sprays, rosettes, and latticework that reflect the famed garden motifs of the Bakhtiari tradition.
Corner spandrels in lapis blue echo the main field's intricacy, while the wide borders — with alternating cream and red vine scrolls — enclose the composition in rhythmic, geometric harmony. The rug is entirely handwoven from high-quality wool, with time-softened hues that lend it a warm, aged patina and depth of character only achievable through decades of natural wear.
A monumental piece like this belongs in a museum-quality space — whether a formal living room, grand entryway, or private collection — offering both visual gravitas and historical authenticity.
