The rug is artfully divided into four vertical panels, each displaying stylized floral compositions, blooming branches, and miniature trees, evoking the beauty and harmony of a walled garden.
The color palette is both delicate and vivid, featuring rare pale yellow, soft pink, French blue, and a variety of greens, accented by deeper tones of red, brown, and indigo—each derived from natural vegetable dyes. The resulting abrash and tonal variations enrich the rug’s character and confirm its authenticity.
Framed by one of the most beautifully detailed borders found in vintage tribal rugs, this Bakhtiari piece is not only a visual treasure but also a refined choice for designers and collectors seeking an heirloom-quality statement for traditional or eclectic interiors.
