Description

Antique handwoven village carpet from west Persia. Woven by the tribal Bakhtiari. Remarkable pastel colors with salmon and blue.

This garden rug, using a box, tile or window design, is a specialty of the Bakhtiar village weavers. Also known as the garden panel design or khesti motif.

The fantastic cypress trees, foliage and flowers are common in these Persian garden rugs. You also have grapes and birds woven into this artistic creation.

Overall condition is excellent for the age with very minor wear. No holes or weak areas. The rug is very durable.

This is a solid rug and can be placed in a high foot traffic area of the home.

Fantastic range of colors including pastels.

The cotton fringes and side cords are in great shape.

Natural wool pile on cotton warp and weft. 1950s – 1960s.

Exact size is 9 ft. 7 in. by 4 ft. 7 in.

Last photo with Morgan silver dollar shows the backside of the carpet.

The Bakhtiari tribe, numbering 800,000, inhabit an area of 67,000 sq. km that straddles the central Zagros Mountains in Iran. Although only about a third of the tribe is nomadic (the rest are settled agriculturists), the nomads embody the Bakhtiari cultural ideals.
