Bakhtiari Bibibaft 1713

Discover a truly magnificent masterpiece of design and fine weaving with this Late 19th Century Persian Bakhtiari Bibibaft Area Rug, meticulously hand-woven in the 4th quarter of the 1800s by the skilled Bakhtiari tribes of Western Persia. At over 100 years old, this rug is a rare and exceptional example of "Bibibaft" (Grandmother's Weave), referring to its extremely tight and fine weave.

This captivating rug features a highly sought-after "vase pattern," a theme also known as the "Garden of Paradise". The design exquisitely depicts vases and charming birds perched on tree branches, all gracefully arranged on a luminous pale yellow field. This serene backdrop beautifully highlights the intricate details of the motifs. The composition is further enriched by a striking red border and elegant French blue corners, creating a harmonious and sophisticated palette.

The vibrant and diverse range of colors in this tribal masterpiece is a direct result of the use of natural vegetable dyes. These organic pigments create a beautiful palate of wonderful hues, including verdant green, serene blue, sunny yellow, rich red, earthy brown, and delicate pink, adding remarkable depth and authenticity.

What makes this tribal masterpiece even more desirable and collectible is its near square size, a particularly rare and sought-after format for antique and vintage rugs, offering versatile placement options for various interior designs.
