Bakhtiari Carpet Description

The Bakhtiari carpet is a masterpiece of Persian tribal weaving, created by the Bakhtiari nomads and settled tribes of western Iran. Renowned for its durability, bold colors, and striking designs, this carpet reflects a deep cultural heritage passed down through generations.

Bakhtiari carpets often feature the iconic garden motif (khesti), where the field is divided into rectangular panels filled with floral, animal, or geometric patterns, symbolizing the Persian paradise garden. The palette is traditionally rich, with deep reds, indigos, forest greens, ivory, and earthy browns, all derived from natural dyes.

Woven with high-quality wool—sometimes combined with cotton for added strength—these carpets are exceptionally robust and prized for their longevity. Their dense knotting and tribal artistry make each piece unique, blending rustic charm with sophisticated design.

A Bakhtiari carpet is more than just a floor covering; it is a statement of Persian craftsmanship, history, and timeless beauty, admired by collectors and interior enthusiasts alike. size 297 x 165
