Bakhtiari Rugs
This hand-knotted Semi Antique Bakhtiari rug from Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Isfahan, Khuzestan - 10x6 ft - presents a compelling Medallion composition woven in Blue, Crimson, a living record of one of Persia's great regional
weaving traditions. Woven on cotton or wool foundations with a thick, lustrous wool pile from high Zagros mountain sheep, Bakhtiari rugs are built for both beauty and endurance. Many antique Bakhtiari rugs from the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries survive in excellent condition today - a testament to the quality of their construction and the durability of their natural materials when combined with the skilled craftsmanship of
tribal weavers.
The large scale at which many Bakhtiari rugs were produced makes them natural focal points for spacious contemporary interiors. Their bold designs hold their visual presence in large rooms without overwhelming, and their rich
color palettes work beautifully with both traditional décor and the neutral, natural-material aesthetic of contemporary interior design. A Bakhtiari rug transforms any room into a living testament to Persian artistic genius.
Bakhtiari rugs are among the most visually exuberant and culturally significant of all Persian weavings, produced by the semi-nomadic Bakhtiari tribal confederation in the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province of central Persia.
These rugs are celebrated worldwide for their bold, joyful compositions, their generous and uninhibited use of color, and the celebratory abundance of their floral imagery - qualities that make them immediately recognizable and
universally admired by collectors and interior designers.
The signature design vocabulary of Bakhtiari rugs centers on the garden panel or compartment layout - one of the most distinctive compositional formats in all of Persian weaving. The field is divided into a regular grid of
squares, diamonds, or hexagons, each containing its own botanical vignette: a towering cypress tree, a vase overflowing with flowers, a pomegranate branch heavy with fruit, a flowering shrub drawn with botanical affection. This
compartmentalized garden represents the Persian paradise - the walled garden of earthly perfection.
