This 10’2” x 13’ hand-knotted Persian Bakhtiari rug features a striking central medallion framed by intricate geometric and floral motifs, all set against a rich red field. The design reflects the Bakhtiari weaving tradition, which often incorporates a balance of bold symmetry and finely detailed patterns, creating visual depth and harmony. Skilled artisans used high-quality wool, producing a dense, durable pile that can withstand heavy use while maintaining its vibrant colors.
The border showcases multiple layers of stylized vines and blossoms, adding a refined frame to the dramatic central composition. Bakhtiari rugs are prized for their combination of tribal character and classical Persian influences, making them versatile pieces for both traditional and contemporary interiors. This large, hand-knotted example not only represents the artistry of its region but also serves as a long-lasting statement piece for any room.
