About Bakhtiari Rugs

Bakhtiari people are a noble, ancient tribe surviving in the Chahar Mahal region of south-central Iran. Primitive Bakhtiari rugs frequently have a checkerboard or garden pattern decorated with trees-of-life, birds, flowers and animals, sometimes realistic, sometimes abstract. Generally these are woven with a Turkish knot. But some very beautiful floral patterns are still produced in the principal town of Shahr Kurd with the Persian knot, showing long, exaggerated medallions reminiscent of an earlier Isfahan style. Color schemes include many shades of brown, rust, yellow ochre, bottle green, beige, dark blue and red.

History & Construction

During the period of the great Khans in the 18th century, many mansions and palaces were built throughout the Chahar Mahal valley. Sumptuous gardens and enclosed courtyards were a symbol of pride and status, and became an important theme for many weavers. These rich merchants also established some of the best rug weaving centers in Persia. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, descendents of the early Khans became even richer when oil was found on their land. They spared no expense in providing the very best materials to their weavers. While much of that wealth has since disappeared or moved away, superior traditions remain. Proportions are always generous, and designs very pleasing to the eye. Athough these are tribal products, often produced under the most primitive conditions, the materials, designs and knotting styles have remained constant over the centuries, resulting in durable pieces of quality and beauty. Most weavers use fine quality wool from their own sheep which they spin by hand and then color with vegetable dyes extracted from local flora, in accordance with old formulae.
