Vintage Persian Bakhtiari Medallion Carpet – Authentic Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Item 229

Celebrate the enduring beauty of Persian tribal artistry with this Vintage Persian Bakhtiari Medallion Carpet, a magnificent hand-knotted masterpiece that embodies the rich weaving traditions of the Bakhtiari region of Persia (Iran). Revered worldwide for their bold geometric patterns, exceptional durability, and masterful craftsmanship, Bakhtiari rugs have long been prized as heirloom pieces that combine practical strength with timeless artistic beauty.

Unlike the famous Bakhtiari garden-panel (Khesti) designs, this exceptional carpet showcases a striking classical central medallion composition, creating a bold architectural focal point that immediately captures attention. The beautifully proportioned medallion is meticulously hand-knotted with intricate geometric detailing, reflecting the remarkable precision and artistic skill of experienced Persian master weavers.

The luxurious deep red field radiates warmth and sophistication while serving as the perfect backdrop for an intricate arrangement of stylized floral motifs, geometric vines, traditional tribal ornaments, and Persian botanical elements. Every decorative detail has been carefully woven to create balance, movement, and visual harmony throughout the composition.

Surrounding the field is a beautifully executed multi-layered Persian border, richly decorated with traditional floral patterns and geometric motifs that frame the central artwork with elegance. The harmonious combination of deep red, midnight blue, ivory, and terracotta creates remarkable depth and contrast, allowing the intricate details to stand out beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors.

Expertly handcrafted using high-quality resilient wool, this carpet offers a dense, luxurious pile that is naturally soft, durable, and resistant to everyday wear. The premium wool provides excellent comfort underfoot while maintaining its rich texture and vibrant colors for generations.

The rug is woven on a strong cotton foundation, ensuring exceptional structural stability and helping the carpet maintain its shape and beauty over time. The fine knot density highlights the remarkable craftsmanship of Persian artisans, producing crisp design definition visible from both the front and reverse sides.

Measuring 9.11 × 7.1 feet, this authentic Persian Bakhtiari carpet is perfectly suited for elegant living rooms, formal dining rooms, executive offices, luxury libraries, boutique hotels, galleries, and distinguished private collections. Combining centuries-old tribal heritage with refined decorative elegance, this magnificent rug is both a functional work of art and an investment-quality heirloom destined to be treasured for generations.
