Additional information
Traditional Persian Bakhtiar styling with an earthy, dark palette and highly patterned floral and avian motifs creates a dramatic visual statement. The allover lattice structure with central rosettes, palmettes, curling vine scrolls, perched birds, and stylized leaves works beautifully in hallways, entryways, gallery corridors, living rooms, dining rooms, studies, and libraries. The geometric-curvilinear layout blends structure with organic detailing for a sophisticated, old-world character.
