Antique Persian Bakhtiari Rug 14x19 Hand Knotted Wool Carpet Rare Palace Size

About This Antique Bakhtiari Carpet

This antique Persian Bakhtiari rug, measuring an impressive 14x19 feet, is a striking hand-knotted wool masterpiece from the 1910s, featuring a cypress tree medallion design—a motif deeply rooted in Persian artistry, symbolizing strength, longevity, and resilience.

At its heart, the rug boasts a deep navy blue field, which serves as a dramatic backdrop for a series of large, ivory medallions symmetrically placed throughout. Each medallion is adorned with tall, stylized cypress trees, framed by delicate floral and vine details. The surrounding latticework in the navy field adds structure, enhancing the visual depth of the composition.

The surrounding golden mustard field area is richly decorated with intricate floral and vine motifs, creating a vibrant contrast against the darker navy center. This border is further framed by red-accented ivory guard bands, which incorporate abstract Persian tribal elements, adding movement and complexity to the overall design.

About Persian Bakhtiari Rugs:

Bakhtiari rugs are among the most celebrated tribal weavings from western Persia, admired for their exceptional craftsmanship, high-quality wool, and intricate garden-inspired designs. While Bakhtiari weavers are known for the famous Khesti (garden panel) pattern, this rug features a more medallion-focused composition, where cypress trees—symbolizing eternity—are seamlessly integrated into a structured geometric layout. The balanced symmetry and bold color contrasts make it a statement piece for both traditional and modern interiors.

This one-of-a-kind Persian Bakhtiari rug is ideal for grand living spaces, formal dining rooms, or collectors seeking a rare antique piece with historical and artistic significance. Its deep hues, timeless motifs, and superior craftsmanship make it a lasting treasure.
