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.
