Orchard Geometry — Antique Bakhtiari Runner from Persia (4.2 × 11.5 ft)

This striking antique Bakhtiari runner (4.2 × 11.5 ft) is a vivid celebration of symmetry, symbolism, and tribal craftsmanship. Its bold ivory field is anchored by a series of highly stylized cypress trees and floral bouquets, each set within angular cartouches that repeat down the length of the rug like pages in a story. These motifs are rich in meaning — representing life, protection, and prosperity — common themes in Bakhtiari weaving tradition.

The saturated reds, deep indigo blues, and forest greens contrast beautifully with the pale background, creating a dynamic interplay of color and form. The surrounding borders are filled with tulip and vine patterns, adding rhythm and movement to the strong geometric spine of the piece. Despite its powerful presence, the rug shows a gentle patina — a hallmark of true antique character.

Perfect for adding personality and heritage to a long corridor, gallery wall, or transitional space, this runner commands attention while grounding the room with old-world charm.
