A genuine antique Persian Bakhtiari rug, hand-knotted in Iran from 100% wool: originally tagged by a dealer at $7,900. This hand-knotted Persian Bakhtiari rug features the iconic ‘Kheshti’ or Garden Panel design, characterized by a field sub-divided into symmetrical rectilinear compartments. Each panel contains a distinct botanical or symbolic motif, including the cypress tree, weeping willow, and floral sprays. Woven by the Bakhtiari tribes of the Zagros Mountains, these rugs are renowned for their ‘muscular’ tribal aesthetic and extreme durability. The palette is a classic Bakhtiari deep-red foundation contrasted with navy blue, ivory, and forest green accents.
This rug has lived a life. It has the patina and character that only time gives you, and it’s structurally solid, the kind of piece that gets passed down, not replaced.
