Bachtiar

This antique Bachtiar rug from the 1930s captivates with its bold geometric design and exceptionally vivid colours. The deep midnight blue field is structured by six large ivory framed garden medallions filled with stylised plants, vase motifs, and floral ornaments. This classic garden composition is among the most recognised and admired patterns found in Bachtiar rugs and symbolises the traditional Persian paradise garden. Particularly striking is the contrast between the rich dark blue field and the vibrant red main border decorated with small floral and geometric details. Accents in sky blue, green, ivory, and coral red add further depth and create an almost graphic visual effect. The rug retains an evenly deep pile and shows some age related wear, adding authenticity and character to this piece that is now more than ninety years old. Despite its age, the rug presents a highly attractive overall appearance with remarkably fresh colours and strong decorative impact. Bachtiar rugs have long been appreciated for their durable structure and high quality wool. This piece works beautifully as a characterful focal point in living rooms, libraries, or interiors combining classical and eclectic elements. Its harmonious balance between tribal expression and decorative elegance makes it highly versatile. A very attractively priced antique Persian rug with authentic character and timeless decorative appeal.
