Antique Baktiari Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

A large elongated medallion design in the main field on this attractive antique Baktiari rug, this design is derived from early rug patterns produced in the 16th and 17th century.  Amazing natural dyes, with soft pale blues, greens, and reds.  The ivory centre lifts the whole palette and showcases the intricate floral designs. We have washed this rug and the colours are vibrant yet muted due to the age of this piece.  Woven around 1910-1915 the condition is very good with the ends secure and a sturdy wool pile height.

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.

Make an appointment to visit our barn showroom or you at home soon.  We would love to help you and show you this rug up close.  Thank you.

This Persian tribal area rug, dating from 1910, consists of a hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation. The colour palette includes navy blue, terracotta, cream, soft pale blue, and green. A central layered diamond medallion sits within an elongated medallion design on the main field, surrounded by floral spandrels, geometric vines, and intricate floral motifs. The border features a stepped diamond pattern with repeated floral elements along the outer edges, and the ends are finished and secure. The rug measures 258 cm high, 160 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. Traditional Persian tribal rugs of this style suit placement in an English Country House interior setting, bringing pattern and colour to a living room, hallway, or study floor. The sturdy wool pile and washed finish maintain a balanced combination of vibrant and muted tones suitable for everyday use underfoot. Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar helps maintain the pile condition, while professional cleaning preserves the natural dyes.

FAQs

Bakhtiari rugs originate from the Bakhtiari region in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. Woven by both nomadic tribes and settled village artisans, these textiles are historically recognised for their high durability, geometric motifs, and rich plant-based dye palettes.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton foundation. Traditional pieces utilise natural dyes extracted from madder root, indigo, walnut husks, and pomegranate skins to create stable, saturated colours.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted pile construction with slight structural variations visible on the reverse side. They typically feature robust double-wefted foundations, hand-bound selvedges, and slight natural colour variations known as abrash throughout the field.

A vibrant Persian rug serves as an anchor in contemporary interiors by introducing pattern and warmth. Designers frequently pair them with neutral modern upholstery, exposed timber floors, or clean-lined minimalist furniture to create visual contrast.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar to protect the pile fibers. Promptly blot spills with a clean cloth and cold water, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and utilize a quality non-slip underlay to maintain structural integrity.
