A Fine Bakhtiar Runner, West P

Oriental Carpet

118305 Oriental Carpet A Fine Bakhtiar Runner, West Persia early 20th century 145'' x 38'' (12'1" x 3'2") The light blue and dark sea-green field with single column of lozenge shaded indigo and terracotta medallion with pendants, each containing bold hooked palmette centrepiece flanked by small panel vine and half palmette at each side, in an ivory border of bold palmettes and leafy vine between light brick-red floral meander and plain stripes. The Persian runner was developed in the Islamic world to replace the animal skins that warmed the narrow walkway between the chamber of a man and that of a woman. Runners do not have a single, central medallion, but instead a series of geometric medallions set in a column down the runner's center. The string of medallions look like a series of knots, which represent wisdom and immortality. The warps and wefts of Bakhtiar carpets are made of cotton. Bakhtiar runners are considered a rare find.
