6'7 x 9'2 Hand-Knotted Persian Bakhtiari Area Rug

Item Details

This mid-20th-century hand-knotted Persian Bakhtiari rug features the esteemed ‘Khesti’ or garden panel design, a hallmark of the Chahar Mahaal weaving tradition. The field is organized into a precise grid of individual compartments, each serving as a miniature canvas for stylized botanical motifs including the ‘Tree of Life,’ cypress trees, and floral sprays. This architectural arrangement is rendered in a vibrant palette of madder red, deep indigo, and forest green, highlighted by crisp ivory accents. The primary border displays a repeating geometric floral pattern on an ivory ground, providing a high-contrast frame to the dense, colorful field. Hand-knotted with resilient hand-spun wool, this rug exemplifies the tribal strength and sophisticated symbolism of Bakhtiari artistry. Its exceptional state of preservation and iconic graphic layout make it a premier decorative asset for traditional or transitional interiors.
