Floral Light Red Bakhtiari Rug with Border & Medallion, 1930s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The luxuriant flower motifs of this Bakhtiari are elegant and varied. The graceful vegetative symbols representing flowers, leaves and branches are artfully intertwined. The embellished edging (border) forms a glorious contrast to the center and creates a transition at the edge of the rug. The abstract, geometric composition creates the simple elegance of this Bakhtiari. The pattern flatters the design of the room and does not take the attention away from its furniture, decoration and architectural elements. It blends in fantastically with any surroundings and subtly complements the interior design of a room. . In the middle of the central field of this Bakhtiari is the symmetrical center, also called medallion. The design of the field is arranged in such a way that it gives the impression that the medallion is floating on the field. The background of this Bakhtiari is dark blue. The colors light red and dark blue dominate the overall impression. The border features beige and dark red. The off white center combines the colors dark blue and old rose. This Bakhtiari has had admirers before you. It was hand knotted about 1930. It has been thoroughly cleaned and only partially restored condition but is in good condition. We have not completely restored this Bakhtiari because we think it is as it is a special charm. The pile of this Bakhtiari has been hand-knotted from high-quality virgin wool. Virgin wool is obtained through the gentle shearing of sheep. Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties; due to the wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on living climate and muffles sound. The weft and warp threads of this Bakhtiari are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.
