Several compartments of this lovely rug hold a slender tree figure. On a terracotta field, a grid of diamond compartments holds stepped geometric figures in rust, cream and near-black. A beautiful cream hexagon with a cross-shaped figure anchors the lattice at the center, and several compartments hold a slender tree figure. The main border is gray beige, carrying bold geometric figures in near-black, red and plum. A dark brown guard band with a thin red dotted stripe runs inside it. The pile is low across much of the field, and the foundation shows through in patches at the center. It grounds a sitting area, the warm earth tones softening the geometric pattern. At 6'5" by 9'9", 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
In 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. The garden panel is the signature of Bakhtiari weaving, which comes from the Zagros mountains of western Persia. A grid of compartments divides the field, and each one holds its own tree, vase or flowering plant. This rug keeps that compartment layout. Some panels hold a tree, others a stepped medallion in rust and cream. The field runs terracotta and near-black, framed by a gray beige 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.
