Bakhtiari Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Bakhtiari Persian rug at 10'7" x 6'11" represents four to six decades of artisanal excellence from the mountainous regions of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. The striking medallion (Toranj) centerpiece dominates the field in rich madder red, while intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Eslimi arabesques create a mesmerizing garden of Persian artistry across the natural wool foundation.
The Bakhtiari people, nomadic shepherds and settled villagers of western Persia, have woven their cultural heritage into carpets for over five centuries. These master weavers, dwelling in the Zagros Mountains between Isfahan and Khuzestan, developed their distinctive style by combining geometric tribal motifs with sophisticated floral patterns influenced by court workshops. Their rugs became prized possessions among Persian nobility and European collectors who appreciated the remarkable durability achieved through symmetrical Ghiordes knotting techniques.
The central medallion symbolizes the cosmic order and divine protection in Persian mysticism, while the surrounding Shah Abbasi motifs represent the garden of paradise promised in Islamic tradition. Deep navy blue borders frame the composition, symbolizing infinity and wisdom, while cream and ivory accents provide luminous contrast against the passionate crimson field. Gold threads highlight the palmette details, and forest green leaves add natural vitality to this textile masterpiece.
This exceptional hand-knotted Persian rug transforms any living space into a sanctuary of elegance, with its generous 10'7" x 6'11" foot dimensions perfectly suited for dining rooms, master bedrooms, or formal living areas. The warm madder red foundation harmonizes beautifully with both traditional Persian décor and contemporary furnishings, while the semi antique patina adds sophisticated character that only time can bestow. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this one-of-a-kind treasure that elevates your home with authentic Persian artistry and timeless beauty.
