This exquisite vintage Bakhtiar rug originates from the culturally rich western region of Iran, an area celebrated for its exceptional weaving traditions. Featuring the rare and symbolic Bandi (rope) design, this rug is a masterful expression of Persian artistry.

The central field is adorned with elegant rows of cypress trees—a timeless symbol of eternity and resilience—interwoven with vibrant floral motifs that represent the vitality of nature. These motifs are laid out in perfect symmetry, creating a powerful and harmonious composition that feels both balanced and alive.

Framing the central design is a beautifully detailed floral cream border, a signature element of high-quality Bakhtiar rugs. The contrast between the lush inner field and the lighter border enhances the visual depth and elegance of the piece.

Crafted from premium handspun wool and dyed using natural pigments sourced from local plants and minerals, this rug features rich, enduring colors and a soft, durable texture. The meticulous knotting and even pile height reflect the exceptional skill of the artisan weaver, ensuring the rug’s longevity and refined appearance.

Whether used as a focal point in a formal sitting room, dining area, or layered in a more eclectic interior, this vintage Bakhtiar carpet is a testament to the timeless elegance and cultural depth of Persian textile art.
