Description

Woven in the last quarter of the 19th century, this fine Persian village rug has the finesse of a sophisticated urban rug.

A central radial medallion floats above a ruby-red field surrounded by myriad flowers and leaves. There are all sorts of lovely colours in the details including subtle yellows, pinks, greens, ivory and light blues. The matching ruby-red main border continues the elegant floral theme which creates a harmony to the composition. Finely knotted with a thin pile this is an exceptional piece. Very good condition.

This antique Persian Bakhtiar village rug dates to circa 1890 and is hand-knotted from wool and cotton. The design displays a central ivory and blue lobed medallion resting on a rich ruby-red field filled with floral motifs, vines, and scattered boteh patterns. Dark navy blue spandrels frame the central field, while the outer edge is bordered by a palmette and floral pattern in matching red and blue tones. Additional details visible in the weave include subtle highlights in yellow, pink, green, and light blue throughout the intricate botanical elements. The pile is thin and even, showing the fine knotting typical of skilled village weaving. Measuring 222 cm high and 155 cm wide, the piece provides a substantial decorative anchor for a floor space. In a modern home, this textile is suited for placement on timber or carpeted flooring in a living room, study, or hallway, bringing traditional Persian style and rich colour to an interior scheme.

FAQs

Bakhtiar rugs originate from the Zagros Mountains region in Persia, produced by settled villagers and nomadic Bakhtiari tribes. Renowned since the 19th century, these textiles often showcase central medallion designs or compartment garden layouts influenced by regional floral flora.

Authentic Bakhtiar carpets feature hand-knotted wool pile tied onto a sturdy cotton warp and weft foundation. Woven using natural plant and mineral dyes, the high-grade local wool contributes to structural durability and saturated colouration.

Authenticity is indicated by slight variations in weave and dye (abrash), a soft flexible handle, and detailed knotting visible on the underside. Antique pieces from the late 19th century display natural vegetable dyes that age into soft, muted tones alongside characteristic floral or panel motifs.

A Persian rug serves as a foundational element to anchor seating areas, dining sets, or entryway spaces. Designers place them over natural timber floorboards or neutral carpets to introduce visual texture, historic character, and grounded colour contrast.

Maintain wool carpets by vacuuming regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean dry cloth, rotate the rug annually to balance sun exposure and foot traffic, and arrange professional cleaning by a specialist conservator.
