Bakhtiar carpets | nomadic carpets from Bakhtiar region

Bakhtiar

Bakhtiar carpets (also known as Bakhtiar) are traditionally handmade by the Bakhtiari - a tribe of nomads and semi-nomads with a centuries-old history. Their magnificent works of art are created in the Chahar Mahal region, south-west of the Iranian city of Isfahan. Due to the high quality of the wool and the precision of the knotting work, the Bakthiar is considered a particularly hard-wearing oriental rug.

Bachtiar rugs - classic motifs meet natural fibres in premium quality

The Bakhtiar rugs are made within a radius of around 100 kilometres around the city of Shahr-e Kord in western Iran. In the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, the nomads and semi-nomads of the Bakhtiari tribe weave oriental carpets of extremely durable quality. The carpets of this provenance owe their high durability to the high knot density, which amounts to 150,000 to 350,000 knots per square metre. Another factor is the use of first-class sheep's wool. For the production of Bakhtiari nomadic carpets, it is spun by hand and dyed in a gentle mineral or vegetable process. The natural fibres give the carpets a robust structure, a soft feel and a fine sheen. Bakhtiar carpets of the highest quality are produced in the village of Chahal Shotur to the west of Shahr-e Kord. They are known as Bibibaff, which can be translated as "grandmother's weaving".

Bakhtiari carpets as a stylish addition to your living space

The Bakthiar is characterised by its garden motif, which extends across the rug in even fields. It is made up of vines, flowers and other design elements from nature. Centrally positioned medallions with filigree decorative elements are also a typical design of Bakhtiari nomadic carpets. The harmonious colour combinations of the oriental shades of red, blue and beige are either vibrant or subtle, depending on the model. In this way, the stylish Persian rugs adapt perfectly to your individual furnishing style. Larger models are ideal as a cosy element in spacious rooms. Thanks to the shape-retaining structure, you can also use a genuine Bakhtiar rug as a cantilever under a larger group of furniture. With this hand-knotted nomadic rug, there are no limits to your creativity when designing your home.
