An Indo-Persian Bakhtiar Carpet hand knotted in wool in Northern India. The carpet features an all-over compartment design of floral sprays, arches and fronds, with palmette, flower and frond motifs continued in the borders. Various soft shades of gold and cream colours are used throughout the carpet to delineate the delicate floral patterns, creating a beautiful representation of an ornate garden.
Bakhtiar Rugs originate from Iran, and these classic designs dating back centuries are popular inspiration for Indian weavers. Persian Bakhtiar Rugs often feature darker, rich colours but can also use lighter, softer colours. Bakhtiar Rugs with these lighter colours are harder to find, and such pieces have been used as the design foundation for this Indian carpet. Master weavers have crafted this ornate piece using excellent quality wool. This makes the rug highly durable and soft to the touch, with this carpet being in good overall condition with some wear to the pile.
The soft tones and intricate floral design make this Indo-Persian Bakhtiar Carpet a centrepiece for large spaces without dominating a setting. The carpet is a soft and warming addition to large bedrooms, dining rooms and drawing rooms.
