This vibrant vintage Bakhtiyar Persian rug showcases a bold garden-inspired layout, characteristic of tribal weavings from the Bakhtiari region in western Iran. The composition is structured around a vertical axis of interconnected medallions, each filled with ornate botanical motifs and stylised architectural elements that resemble pavilions or palatial structures, symbolising paradise gardens and traditional Persian courtyard layouts.

The palette is rich and saturated, with dominant tones of crimson, sky blue, ochre, navy, and ivory, all derived from natural dyes that have matured beautifully over time. Each compartment is symmetrically aligned, featuring detailed rosettes, geometric blossoms, and intricate lattice forms that give the rug a visual rhythm and narrative flow.

A prominent central palmette anchors the vertical axis, surrounded by a network of cruciform floral arrangements and angular vine work. The corners of the field are adorned with stylised vase motifs and finial details, reinforcing the classical garden theme.

Framing the field is a series of borders, the main one filled with scrolling floral vines and rosettes set against a deep red background, flanked by narrow guards with delicate meander and latch-hook patterns. The overall impression is one of balance, opulence, and storytelling through symbolism.

Crafted with tightly hand-knotted wool, this piece offers both durability and textural richness, making it ideal for collectors or design enthusiasts seeking a piece with heritage, artistry, and striking tribal geometry.
