{"product_id":"11085-12x19-persian-handmade-bakhtiari-vintage-rug","title":"11085 - Persian Bakhtiari Oversized Rug 12'4\" x 19'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA navy diamond medallion is the first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug. Within a deep red field that reads black cherry from across a room, rosettes, palmettes and curling leaves are scattered in cream, navy and pink. The medallion sits at the center with a stepped navy outline, and a smaller deep red diamond forms its core around a dark star rosette. Cream spandrels fill the four corners, carrying graceful scrolling vines in navy and a round rosette in each outer point. The handsome navy main border holds a zigzag of long serrated leaves, with flower sprays set in the turns. Narrow red guard stripes with small blossoms run on either side of it. The pile is low, and a few small patches in the field have worn lower. It grounds a large room, and the cream corners lift all that deep red and navy. At 12'4\" by 19', it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bakhtiari move their flocks 150 miles each year between winter pastures in the plains and summer pastures in the mountains. Bakhtiari rugs were made under the patronage of the tribe in certain villages southwest of Isfahan. Bakhtiari weaving comes from the Zagros mountains of western Persia, and its signature is the garden panel. The weavers were people who moved their herds twice a year. Flowering plants fill this rug as well, with blossoms, sprays and leafy stems spread over the whole deep red field. Here they gather around one central medallion, laid out in mirror image from top to bottom. The navy border carries its zigzag of long leaves along all four sides, and the cream corners pick up the cream rosettes in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned.
