Code 8496 Persian Bakhtiari 291x198cm Hand knotted

This vintage Persian Bakhtiari rug is a stunning example of tribal weaving craftsmanship, handwoven by the Bakhtiari tribes of western Persia during the first half of the 1900s. Its intricate design and use of natural wool colors make it a true testament to the artistry of the weavers and the cultural heritage of the region.

The rug features an all-over geometric pattern, with repeated diamond-shaped motifs arranged throughout the field. These shapes are skillfully woven, creating a sense of rhythm and balance across the entire surface. The geometric forms are both bold and subtle, with each diamond pattern featuring intricate detailing that gives the rug depth and texture. The overall effect is one of harmony and timeless beauty, making the rug a versatile addition to any space, whether traditional or contemporary.

The central field is primarily a rich, light brown or camelhair color, which provides a warm, earthy backdrop. This neutral hue exudes the natural beauty of wool, and its understated elegance enhances the geometric designs that overlay it. The camelhair color, a shade reminiscent of soft sand or light brown, allows the various geometric motifs to stand out without overwhelming the viewer.

The rug features a palette of natural wool colors, including camelhair, ivory, dark gray, and black, all derived from natural dyes that were traditionally used by the Bakhtiari weavers. The combination of these shades gives the rug a sophisticated and grounded aesthetic.
