Description

Persian Handmade Bakhtiar Carpet
Approx. 12’2″ x 10’1″

This exceptional Persian handmade Bakhtiar carpet features the famous “Garden Panel” or “Windows of Life” design, a hallmark of the Bakhtiari weaving tradition from western Iran. The field is divided into a series of intricate square compartments, each individually decorated with stylized floral, tree, and vase motifs-symbolizing the four classical Persian garden elements of water, plants, shade, and architecture. The palette of earthy browns, indigo blues, soft ivory, and terracotta accents creates a rich yet balanced composition, framed by a beautifully detailed floral border.

Renowned for their thick, durable wool and deeply symbolic designs, Bakhtiar carpets are woven by tribal artisans of the Zagros Mountains and are prized for their quality and longevity. This striking piece embodies the essence of Persian artistry-a timeless celebration of nature, structure, and craftsmanship that brings warmth and elegance to any traditional or contemporary space.
