This stunning Bakhtiari carpet showcases the distinctive garden panel design that has made this Persian weaving tradition one of the most recognisable and beloved styles in the world of oriental carpets. The composition features a sophisticated compartmentalised layout with multiple rectangular and square panels arranged in a geometric grid pattern, each section rendered in contrasting colours including deep navy blue, warm burgundy-red, soft pink, cream, and golden-yellow that create a vibrant patchwork effect across the entire field.
Each individual panel is filled with traditional Bakhtiari motifs including stylised floral sprays, cypress trees, weeping willows, vases of flowers, and geometric patterns that represent the famous Persian garden design, symbolising the paradise gardens of ancient Persia. The alternating colour scheme creates remarkable visual rhythm and energy, with some panels featuring dark navy grounds adorned with delicate floral elements in pink and cream, whilst others display burgundy or cream fields filled with complementary botanical motifs. The quality of the drawing and the attention to detail within each compartment demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship characteristic of fine Bakhtiari weaving.
The carpet is beautifully framed by a generous cream-coloured main border densely populated with traditional Persian floral motifs, palmettes, and botanical elements in navy, burgundy, pink, and yellow tones. Additional guard borders featuring golden-yellow and burgundy grounds with complementary floral patterns provide elegant finishing detail to this sophisticated composition.
This Bakhtiari carpet exemplifies the refined elegance and masterful craftsmanship that has made this weaving tradition highly sought after by collectors worldwide, combining the iconic garden panel design with sophisticated colour harmony and exceptional artistic execution to create a piece that celebrates the rich heritage of Persian tribal artistry.

EVERY DESIGN IS UNIQUE
Due to their handcrafted nature, the pattern on our Persian Rugs may show slight imperfections, which are a hallmark of traditional weaving techniques and a sign of its authenticity and craftsmanship.
NATURAL 100% WOOL OR NATURAL FIBRES
All our Persian rugs and carpets are made with 100% wool from sheep or goats belonging to pastoral nomads who inhabit the Zargos Mountain Range in Iran. The flocks are herded during the spring months to the cooler climates of the high mountain plateaus and valleys, where the grass is abundant and rich in minerals. The fleeces grow thick and produce a lustrous wool, fine in texture and when spun, using many natural dyes, which have a high colour saturation.
PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED
All our rugs and carpets are professionally cleaned before we place them on sale in our Narberth showroom.
