Deep red, cream, navy, pink and brown share the field of this wonderful rug. Small rosettes and geometric sprays in cream, navy, pink and brown cover the deep red field. A handsome pointed medallion in deep red holds a deep indigo inner lobe with a cream flower head, and its tips reach the top and bottom of the field. Beautiful cream corner pieces scattered with small red, navy and brown blossoms fill each corner of the field. The main border runs burgundy, set with stylized cream, pink and blue motifs, and narrow bands of small flowers and zigzag line both sides. The pile is full across the face and in every border. Red and cream tones share the surface, framed by warm woods. At 6'9" by 10'3", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
About Bakhtiari rugs
The Bakhtiari move their flocks 150 miles each year between winter pastures in the plains and summer pastures in the mountains. The 1925 film Grass followed that migration, with the men swimming the Karun River for three days beside rafts buoyed by inflated goatskins. Bakhtiari weaving comes from the Zagros mountains of western Persia, and its signature is the garden panel. The field is divided into a grid of compartments, each one holding its own tree, vase or flowering plant. The weavers were people who moved their herds twice a year. This rug is a medallion design instead of a garden panel grid, with the pointed red medallion set on cream corners inside a burgundy border.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
