This Bakhtiar rug is a definitive example of the "Khesti" or garden panel design, where each individual frame serves as a window into a traditional Persian garden.

The sophisticated arrangement of motifs and the masterful harmony of colors suggest the hand of a true expert artisan.

Within these panels, a diverse array of ancient symbols is brought to life, ranging from the graceful weeping willow to the resilient cypress tree.

Crafted using natural vegetable dyes and a specific single-wefted weaving technique, the rug offers an exceptionally soft and supple handle. It is a heritage piece that carries the presence and quality of a museum-grade antique, making it a timeless addition to a curated home.
