Bakhtiari Rugs
With its Medallion design in Blue, Crimson and its generous 10x5 ft format, this Semi Antique Bakhtiari rug represents the authentic weaving heritage of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Isfahan, Khuzestan, where rugs of this quality
have been hand-knotted for generations. The botanical symbolism embedded in Bakhtiari rugs connects them to centuries of Persian cultural tradition in which gardens, flowers, and trees carried deep meaning. The pomegranate
symbolizes fertility and divine abundance; the cypress tree represents eternity and the undying spirit; the rose embodies both earthly beauty and divine love; the plane tree evokes shelter and generosity. Each panel is a
meditation on the natural world filtered through the symbolic vocabulary of Persian cultural tradition.
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.
