Bakhtiari Rug, Vintage – Inventive and elegant, this exquisite vintage Bakhtiari rug showcases a formal kheshti garden pattern decorated with ornate botanical motifs and animals. Lavish strap-work bands adorned with rosette cornerstones and minute floral details separate the elegant tiled blocks that decorate the field. Each quadrant features a unique combination of formal bouquets, birds and animals placed in a naturalistic setting. Carefully arranged tiles form a symmetric series of lozenge-shaped patterns that add a superfluous layer of detail to this splendid vintage Persian Bakhtiari rug. The lavish animal-motif main borders feature an exquisite selection of animated predators, majestic stags and decorative birds that are tucked into a decorative landscape. The exquisite guard bands depict a lush series of carnations flanked by decorative bulbuls that reflect the formal style of the composition.
