Magnificent Handwoven Bakhtiari Tribal Medallion Carpet – Authentic Persian Wool Rug – Item 227

Celebrate the rich heritage of Persian tribal weaving with this Magnificent Handwoven Bakhtiari Tribal Medallion Carpet, an exceptional hand-knotted masterpiece created by master artisans from the renowned Bakhtiari region of Persia (Iran). Highly regarded for their bold geometric artistry, outstanding durability, and luxurious wool construction, Bakhtiari carpets have long been treasured as heirloom pieces that blend authentic tribal character with refined Persian craftsmanship.

This remarkable carpet showcases a beautifully balanced composition centered around a large multi-tiered star medallion, meticulously hand-knotted to create an impressive architectural focal point. The medallion radiates outward with remarkable symmetry and is highlighted by an elegant ivory center, providing spectacular contrast against the richly colored field and enhancing every intricate detail.

The expansive burgundy-red field is densely decorated with flowing tribal blossoms, graceful scrolling vines, stylized serrated leaves, and traditional Persian floral ornaments. Every motif has been carefully arranged to create a harmonious sense of movement while preserving the bold artistic spirit that defines authentic Bakhtiari village weaving.

Large midnight-blue corner spandrels beautifully frame the composition, adding remarkable depth and visual balance. Surrounding the field is a majestic main border adorned with repeating Shah Abbasi palmettes, traditional floral cartouches, and elegant Persian motifs that perfectly complete the classical layout with timeless sophistication.

Expertly handcrafted using premium hand-spun wool, the dense pile offers luxurious softness, excellent resilience, and exceptional long-term durability. Naturally rich in lanolin, the wool provides warmth, comfort, and outstanding resistance to everyday wear while maintaining its vibrant appearance for generations.

The carpet is woven on a thick, durable foundation, ensuring superior structural stability and allowing it to lie perfectly flat while withstanding years of regular use. The exceptional knot density demonstrates the remarkable precision of the master weaver, producing crisp pattern definition visible from both the front and reverse sides.

Measuring 10.5 × 6.9 feet, this authentic Persian Bakhtiari carpet is ideally suited for grand living rooms, formal dining rooms, executive offices, luxury libraries, boutique hotels, galleries, and prestigious private collections. Combining timeless Persian artistry with practical durability, this magnificent carpet is a valuable heirloom designed to enrich elegant interiors for generations.
