{"product_id":"11074-7x7-persian-handmade-bakhtiari-vintage-rug","title":"11074 - Persian Bakhtiari Area Rug 6'9\" x 6'9\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA grid of garden panels, each with its own flowers, gives this lovely rug its charm. Set in a red field, the panels take grounds of red, cream, navy and steel blue, and from a few steps back the mix reads black cherry. There is no medallion; the whole field is a grid of rectangles framed by narrow red bands. Small navy rosettes mark each crossing of the bands. The panels hold flowering plants, a cypress tree, vases of blossoms and a large boteh, the paisley leaf-drop. The wide cream main border carries graceful curling vines with navy and red flower heads. Red guard stripes of small rosettes run on either side of it. The pile is low across the whole rug. It holds a sitting area, and the cream border gives the red and navy panels a calm edge. At 6'9\" by 6'9\", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1909 Bakhtiari tribesmen under the chief Sardar Assad captured Tehran in a successful campaign for constitutional reform. Bakhtiari rugs were made under the patronage of the tribe in certain villages southwest of Isfahan. Bakhtiari rugs come from the Zagros mountains of western Persia, and their signature is the garden panel. The field is divided into a grid of compartments, each holding its own tree, vase or flowering plant. This rug keeps that grid, with a cypress tree, vases of blossoms and flowering plants set panel by panel. Its panels change ground from red to cream, navy and steel blue, and the same navy and red return in the flowers of the cream border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
