In this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Bakhtiari rug, the union of perpetual posh and preppy formality unfolds, echoing traditional sensibility. The medallion and corner design and sophisticated color palette woven into this piece work together creating a relaxed yet elevated feel such as American traditional or ivy league style.

The red backdrop serves as a canvas for a large-scale blue medallion, adorned with a concentric red and white blooming palmette radiating from the center. This design choice, characterized by angular precision, sets the Bakhtiari rug apart from other formal Persian designs. Angular buds, curved sickle leaves, stylized florals, and angular leaves dance across the rug, creating a captivating visual feast. The patterns, outlined with detail, come to life against the red and blue backdrops, giving them visual depth and strength as if they were floating on the surface of the carpet.

As your eyes wander, the corner spandrels echo the central medallion, contributing to the rug's overall coherence. The visual complexity, marked by delineated shapes and bold blue undulating vinery, creates an esoteric juxtaposition within the geometric design. The Persian rug is framed with a rectilinear botanical border, enclosed with angular floral meander guard borders, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.
