Design Story
In 1930, this Bakhtiyar rug emerged as a timeless masterpiece, measuring 5x6'9, adorned in bold red and white hues. Rooted in Bakhtiyar craftsmanship, its intricate patterns echoed tales of skilled hands and cultural richness. Transforming spaces into havens of artistic expression, each knot tied in 1930 became a living testament to the era's spirit. This rug symbolized enduring style, more than a floor covering; it became a time-traveler, adding history and cultural richness to every space it adorned. The carefully chosen red and white hues continued to resonate with the dynamic and vibrant spirit of Bakhtiyar craftsmanship.
City Story
Until the 1930’s Bakhtiari rugs were characteristically woven for use by the tribe or on commission within Persia. As they were rarely produced to be exported, they offer lanolin-rich, extremely durable wool and luminous colors, which were procured through a thorough knowledge of dyeing using natural dyestuffs. The oversized Bakhtiari carpets represent the endeavors of a group of highly skilled weavers and dyers and usually take up to six years to complete. Many Bakhtiari rugs employ virtuoso central medallion designs presented in a virtual riot of colors. Bakhtiari weavers were also renowned for their dramatic renditions of the “Garden Compartment” motif, usually organized in a series of square-shaped compartments and much more rarely in a latticework of graceful, bell-shaped compartments.
