This is a gorgeous, authentic Persian Bakhtiari rug featuring the iconic Khesti (garden panel or compartmentalized) design. The Bakhtiari tribe is famous for weaving these durable, highly detailed rugs in the Zagros Mountains of Iran.
This is an investment-grade, highly collectible vintage Persian Bakhtiari tribal rug. This exquisite piece features the iconic garden panel layout, showcasing a stunning geometric grid of individual windows filled with classic weeping willows, cypresses, and floral motifs. The lower field displays a beautifully rendered, architectural row of geometric town gates and arches
The Wool & Silk Distinction:
While standard tribal Bakhtiari rugs are woven entirely of wool, this elite production features an incredibly luxurious wool-silk blend pile. Genuine, luminescent silk has been masterfully woven into the intricate outlines of the garden motifs. This creates a breathtaking, jewel-like shimmer that shifts beautifully under direct light, giving the traditional design incredible three-dimensional depth and prestige.
