This Persian tribal rug dates from 1910 and is hand-knotted from wool and cotton. The rectangular textile measures 206 cm high, 141 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, and it is slightly misshapen with a 10 cm difference in width between the ends. The navy blue field contains a central multi-coloured stepped medallion surrounded by various geometric and stylised floral motifs in pink, green, and gold tones. A wide red border frames the central design, filled with repeating geometric patterns and white details, while narrow patterned guard stripes run along the inner and outer edges. The piece shows light, age-related wear with slightly heavier areas in a few spots, alongside secure fringes and selvedges. Suitable for placement on the floor in a living room, study, or bedroom, the rug brings traditional pattern and colour to an interior. The professional cleaning ensures the piece arrives ready for domestic placement. The darker background anchors furniture arrangements while the vibrant secondary shades provide visual contrast against wooden floorboards or neutral carpets. The traditional Persian tribal style suits both classic English country house interiors and eclectic modern spaces.

FAQs

Bakhtiar rugs are hand-woven by nomadic tribes and settled villagers in the Zagros Mountains region of Persia, characteristically featuring dense wool construction, rich jewel tones, and geometric or garden-panel motifs.

These rugs are traditionally crafted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces display distinct hand-knotted irregularities on the reverse side, natural colour variations known as abrash, thick heavy pile, and structured geometric or stepped medallion designs.

Place the rug centrally in a living space or beneath a dining setting to anchor modern minimalist furniture with warm tones, texture, and historic visual interest.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush head, rotate the rug annually to balance traffic wear, and address liquid spills immediately by blotting with cold water and a neutral soap.
