Antique Bakhtiar Runner 503x100cm

This exquisite antique Bakhtiari runner is an exceptionally rare and decorative Persian textile, originating from the Bakhtiari region of western Iran, a locale renowned for its rich weaving heritage and masterful craftsmanship.

Antique runners of this provenance and age are seldom found—especially in such remarkable condition. Woven from high-quality handspun wool and dyed using natural plant-based pigments, the rug retains its vivid indigo field, symbolizing the deep cultural and geographical roots of its origin.

The cream main border gracefully frames the central design, adding a refined contrast to the indigo background, while the cheerful yellow guard border injects warmth and dynamism into the composition. These contrasting hues are perfectly balanced, enhancing the visual sophistication of the piece.

The intricate pattern work—a hallmark of Bakhtiari artisans—demonstrates both aesthetic precision and storytelling tradition, making the rug not just a floor covering but a cultural artifact. This runner is ideal for hallways, stairwells, or gallery-style interiors, offering both durability and elegance.

Whether added to a classic collection or a contemporary home, this rare Persian runner serves as both a statement of taste and a tribute to timeless weaving traditions.
