Tribal Geometry Preserved - Antique Baktiary Rug from Persia (10.7 × 13.10 ft) - 1723

This antique Baktiary rug (10.7 × 13.10 ft) is a compelling testament to the tribal mastery of Persian village weaving. Its bold geometric layout centers around a luminous diamond medallion in golden ochre and rust, set against a midnight navy field. Flanking medallions and sharply drawn ivory spandrels lend strong symmetry to the composition, while the surface is richly patterned with floral rosettes, stylized shrubs, and totemic tribal symbols.

The surrounding border, in deep crimson, features a classic Baktiary arrangement of large palmettes and jagged rosettes framed in navy and ivory, offering striking contrast and cohesion. The rug’s deeply saturated natural dyes, visible abrash, and age-earned patina contribute to its powerful aesthetic. This is a piece of enduring beauty, ideal for collectors or interiors with a reverence for genuine heritage and bold tribal design.
