This extraordinary antique Persian Bakhtiyari wool rug is a stunning example of village craftsmanship and bold floral artistry. Showcasing a striking central medallion set against a vibrant red field, the rug bursts with elaborate botanical motifs, lush blossoms, scrolling vines, and stylised foliage symmetrically arranged in rich jewel tones of navy, forest green, ivory, and gold.
The dramatic interplay between the deep crimson background and the ivory-accented borders gives the composition a regal presence. The border itself features an ornate floral pattern with alternating palmettes and rosettes, framed by guard stripes filled with fine vinework, echoing the organic rhythm of the main field.
Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, this Bakhtiyari rug combines durability with artistic depth. Its robust structure, saturated palette, and intricate detailing make it a collector’s gem perfect for adding timeless Persian character and bold sophistication to any interior.
