About Persian Bakhtiari Rugs

Bakhtiari rugs originate from the Bakhtiari tribes of southwestern Iran, particularly near the Zagros Mountains. These rugs are celebrated for their durable construction, bold geometric or garden-themed layouts, and use of natural dyes. One of the most recognizable formats is the paneled “khesti” design, where individual compartments contain floral or tree-of-life motifs—symbolizing paradise. Woven by both nomadic and settled communities, antique Bakhtiari rugs are prized for their high-quality wool and regional variations in pattern.

Unique Characteristics of this Bakhtiari Rug

This oversized Bakhtiari rug showcases a rare and elaborate panel design featuring peacocks and stylized florals—a motif often associated with nobility and protection. The cypress trees, symbolizing eternity, are carefully framed in a latticework of medallions. Its scale, rich coloration, and exceptional preservation make it a standout piece for collectors and designers alike.
