Bakhtiari Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi antique Bakhtiari Persian rug measuring 7'1" x 5'3" presents the timeless Kheshti garden design rendered in a magnificent palette of madder red, cream, and deep burgundy accents. The geometric compartments create an enchanting tapestry that captures the essence of Persian paradise gardens, with each section containing delicate Gol Farang European floral motifs that speak to centuries of cultural exchange along ancient trade routes.
The Bakhtiari weavers of Chaharmahal province have been renowned for their masterful carpet creation since the 16th century, dwelling in the Zagros Mountains where nomadic traditions merged with settled weaving practices. These skilled artisans developed the distinctive Kheshti pattern as a representation of cultivated gardens divided by irrigation channels, symbolizing the Persian concept of paradise on earth. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots employed in this 40-60 year old masterpiece demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations of Bakhtiari families.
The rich madder red field serves as a vibrant foundation for cream-colored garden squares, while burgundy and dark red details add depth and sophistication to the overall composition. Navy blue and black geometric borders frame the central design, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye inward, while ivory highlights illuminate the intricate floral elements within each compartment. This harmonious color story reflects the natural dyes traditionally used by Bakhtiari weavers, extracted from local plants and minerals found in their mountainous homeland.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure, this semi antique Bakhtiari rug possesses the character and patina that only decades of careful use can provide, elevating any living space with its authentic Persian heritage. The 7'1" x 5'3" foot dimensions make it perfectly suited for dining rooms, studies, or bedroom settings where its garden motifs can create a focal point of warmth and cultural sophistication. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Bakhtiari weaving artistry, complete with its original cotton foundation and natural wool pile that continues to showcase the remarkable durability of traditional Persian rug construction.
