Originating from the renowned Persian Bakhtiari tradition and crafted around 1910, this tribal-style rug embodies the rich cultural heritage and skilled craftsmanship of the Bakhtiari people. The carpet features a durable wool pile woven onto a cotton foundation, a common practice allowing for both resilience and comfort underfoot.
The design details showcase a dark navy background that sets the stage for a multitude of vivid patterns. Dominating the central field is a distinctive vertical, tree-like motif, which is a signature of Bakhtiari aesthetics. Unlike many Persian rugs that feature a central medallion, this rug draws the eye along a vertical axis, enhancing its unique tribal character.
Geometric patterns are prominent throughout the rug, incorporating angular shapes such as diamonds, leafy forms, and zigzags. These are interspersed with stylized floral and plant motifs reflecting traditional influences. The color palette includes primary accents of red, complemented by yellow, green, light blue, and white, all creating a striking contrast with the dark navy background.
The border designs are intricate and multiple, adding to the overall complexity of the rug. The primary border features a repetitive floral motif set against an ivory backdrop, with flowers depicted in shades of red, blue, green, and yellow. A secondary, narrower border in red contains simpler floral and geometric patterns, providing a subtle yet effective frame for the central design.
Symmetry is a key aspect of this rug's layout, with patterns mirrored perfectly along a vertical axis. This symmetry, typical of Bakhtiari rugs, enhances the visual harmony and balance of the piece. The density of the patterning is medium to high, ensuring that the eye constantly discovers new details without overwhelming the view.
Intricate craftsmanship, a balanced use of vibrant colors, and traditional Bakhtiari motifs make this rug not only a functional floor covering but also a valuable example of Persian weaving artistry.
