The Bakhtiari design is a celebration of the nomadic weaving traditions of the Zagros Mountain region, one of the most distinctive styles in the rug world. Famous for their bold garden-panel (Kheshti) compositions, Bakhtiari rugs divide the field into compartments filled with trees, flowers, and botanical forms — a visual metaphor for a Persian paradise garden. This exquisite piece is hand-knotted from 100% premium wool, offering a rich, resilient pile with a natural luster that deepens over time. The field showcases garden-panel compartments, stylized cypress trees, blossoming floral vignettes, and structured geometric borders, expressing bold pastoral beauty and vibrant storytelling. The composition is built upon a red ground, framed by a distinguished ivory border, creating a harmonious and visually compelling palette. As an authentic Persian piece, this rug carries the unmatched prestige and collectible value of its storied origin. Measuring 10'11" x 13'9" (approximately 150 sq. ft.), this hand-knotted rug is a testament to the skill and dedication of master weavers — a striking centerpiece for any discerning collector or design enthusiast.
