Antique 'Garden' Design Baktiari Rug, Persia

1900 - 1920
Description

Finely woven this beautiful garden design Baktiari rug was woven with superb colours, glorious yellows, greens, ivory tones and soft blues on this panelled floral design.  A tight fine weave with a good medium high wool pile all over this Southern Persia antique rug.   There are some 200 villages in the region of Baktiari, who all produced beautiful rugs around the late 19th century and in some quite striking designs. The garden design, as seen here is a famous design used by Baktiari weavers for centuries.

Baktiari, which is west of Isfahan, is a region where rugs used a similar medallion format to those of Isfahan rugs. This is where the similarity ends, as this village rug is coarsely woven on a wool foundation whereas Isfahan rugs are finer and woven using a cotton foundation. The colours on this rug really stand out on the black main field, which makes for a marvelous nomadic rug.

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire & the UK by appointment. Please request a home visit to view this rug in your own home.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Bakhtiari garden rugs, traditional to central Persia, feature a distinct kheshti or panelled grid pattern. Each rectangular compartment depicts botanical motifs such as cypress trees, weeping willows, or floral sprays inspired by classical Persian gardens.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. Vegetable dyes were historically employed to produce terracotta reds, deep blues, forest greens, and cream shades.

Authentic Bakhtiari pieces are recognisable by their structured grid or panel layout, durable symmetrical knotting, and robust construction. The weave often incorporates a double-weft insertion, resulting in a firm feel and dense pile texture.

A grid-patterned Persian carpet grounds contemporary or traditional spaces by introducing architectural symmetry and saturated tone. It pairs effectively with natural timber furniture, dark leather upholstery, or neutral backdrop walls.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to prevent damage to the pile fibres. Rotate the rug annually to balance traffic wear and light exposure, and use professional hand-washing services for deep cleaning.
