This commanding antique Baktiary rug (12.1 × 14.9 ft) showcases the bold aesthetics and intricate tribal craftsmanship for which the Baktiary weaving tradition is celebrated. At its heart lies a radiant sunburst medallion, surrounded by angular floral palmettes and serrated leaves that echo across a vibrant brick-red field. Delicate vinework and symbolic motifs - drawn with geometric clarity - add texture and storytelling throughout the design.
The ivory spandrels and border offer crisp contrast, each detailed with stylized rosettes and tree-like botanical forms in deep navy, copper, and walnut. The saturated vegetable dyes and visible abrash enrich the rug with character and movement, while its generous size makes it a strong centerpiece for large living rooms, dining halls, or historically inspired interiors.
