Bakhtiari Persian Rugs
This magnificent 14'0" x 12'2" Bakhtiari Persian rug represents the pinnacle of nomadic weaving artistry from the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces. At 40-60 years of age, this semi antique treasure displays the sophisticated medallion (Toranj) and Herati (Mahi) patterns that have been cherished for centuries. The commanding scale makes it perfect for grand living rooms, formal dining spaces, or expansive master bedrooms where its presence can truly be appreciated.
The Bakhtiari weavers of southwestern Persia have long been celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship, with traditions passed down through generations of tribal families. These nomadic artisans developed their distinctive style while moving between summer and winter pastures, creating rugs that reflected both their pastoral lifestyle and their sophisticated understanding of geometric harmony. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in this piece demonstrate the meticulous attention to detail that characterizes authentic Bakhtiari work.
The central medallion draws the eye with its intricate geometry, while the surrounding Herati motifs create a mesmerizing field of repeated fish patterns that symbolize abundance and prosperity. The rich madder red ground provides a dramatic backdrop for the navy blue, crimson, and ivory accents, while touches of Persian blue, antique gold, brown, and green add depth and complexity to the overall composition. Each color was derived from natural sources, giving the rug its authentic patina and timeless appeal.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior with its perfect balance of bold presence and refined sophistication. The generous proportions make it ideal for anchoring large furniture arrangements while providing warmth and character to expansive floor spaces. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Persian weaving heritage, complete with the natural wool pile and cotton foundation that ensure both beauty and durability for generations of enjoyment.
