This Bakhtyar Persian wool rug is a masterfully hand-knotted piece, showcasing the robust and ornate design style typical of the Bakhtiari tribes of western Iran. The rug features a prominent central medallion with intricate floral patterns, rendered in shades of cobalt blue, brick red, and ivory, set against a rich olive-brown field filled with dense floral rosettes.

The corner spandrels echo the central design, framed in soft salmon, blue, and terracotta tones with architectural lattice details. The field is vibrantly decorated with blossoming vines and stylised garden motifs, a hallmark of Bakhtiari weavings, symbolising abundance and nature.

A cream-coloured main border frames the piece with scrolling palmettes and floral motifs in deep brown, blue, and red, providing a harmonious contrast and balance. Made from high-quality wool, the rug features a thick, durable pile with a soft texture, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or formal settings. This rug combines tribal vitality with classical Persian refinement, ideal for collectors or interior spaces seeking historic charm and bold sophistication.
