Bakhtiari Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Bakhtiari Persian rug, measuring 9'10" x 6'11", showcases the refined artistry of Persia's Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province through its masterful medallion and eslimi design work. Woven 40-60 years ago by skilled Persian artisans, this exceptional piece displays the warm madder red and dark red tones that define the Bakhtiari tradition, beautifully accented by cream, navy blue, black, ivory, burgundy, and gold threading that creates remarkable depth and character throughout the field.
The Bakhtiari weavers of the Zagros Mountains have maintained their distinctive rug-making traditions for centuries, with their semi-nomadic lifestyle deeply influencing the bold geometric patterns and medallion compositions found in their textiles. This particular rug features the classic toranj medallion at its center, surrounded by intricate eslimi arabesque motifs that flow gracefully across the field, while the shah abbasi palmette designs add layers of Persian cultural symbolism representing paradise gardens and eternal beauty.
The rich color palette speaks to the sophisticated Persian dyeing techniques passed down through generations, where the dominant madder red field represents strength and prosperity, while the cream and ivory elements provide luminous contrast that highlights the intricate knotwork. The navy blue and burgundy accents create visual anchors that draw the eye through the composition, while touches of gold threading catch light beautifully, adding warmth and luxury to any interior space.
At 9'10" x 6'11", this Bakhtiari masterpiece works perfectly as a statement piece in medium-sized living rooms, formal dining areas, or sophisticated bedroom settings, where its semi antique character brings instant heritage and authenticity. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure elevates any space with its timeless Persian elegance, while the symmetrical Ghiordes knot construction and natural wool foundation ensure lasting beauty for generations. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional example of Persian weaving artistry, complete with traditional fringed edges that frame the intricate design work with classical Persian finishing.
