Bakhtiari Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Bakhtiari Persian rug showcases forty to sixty years of natural aging, presenting a captivating medallion composition in rich madder red and navy blue with elegant cream and ivory highlights. Measuring 10'8" x 6'4", this exceptional piece features the classic Toranj medallion surrounded by intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Eslimi arabesques, creating a harmonious dance of Persian artistry that has graced homes for generations.
Woven in the mountainous regions of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, these rugs emerged from nomadic tribes who perfected their weaving techniques while traversing ancient trade routes between Isfahan and Khuzestan provinces. The Bakhtiari weavers, renowned for their bold geometric interpretations and masterful use of natural dyes, created textiles that served both practical and ceremonial purposes in their seasonal migrations. This particular rug embodies the tribal heritage through its symmetrical Ghiordes knots, tied with precision on a sturdy cotton foundation using pure natural wool.
The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian tradition, represents the cosmic garden of paradise, while the surrounding Shah Abbasi motifs honor the artistic renaissance of the Safavid dynasty. Deep burgundy and dark red tones intermingle with golden accents and pristine white details, creating a palette that speaks to the earth's natural minerals and the weaver's intimate connection with their landscape. These colors were achieved through traditional methods using madder root, indigo, and other botanical sources that have retained their vibrancy over decades.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its perfect balance of traditional Persian aesthetics and timeless sophistication. The 10'8" x 6'4" foot dimensions make it ideal for dining rooms, studies, or as a striking focal point in master bedrooms, while its semi antique character adds depth and authenticity to both contemporary and classical interiors. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional Bakhtiari as a testament to Persian weaving mastery, where each knot tells a story of cultural heritage and artistic dedication that transforms any room into a gallery of ancient craftsmanship.
