eCarpetGallery's Bakhtiar area rugs and Carpets
Bakhtiar rugs are hand woven in the central Iranian province of Chahar Mahal and are named after the
Bakhtiari peoples, one of the oldest
Persian tribes. This is a large carpet producing area, with hundreds of rug weaving villages, offering some stunning examples of
Persian rugs and runners.
At
eCarpetGallery.com we have a large selection of
Bakhtiar area rugs, offered in many sizes from
small rugs to
medium sized carpets. Larger
Bakhtiar Persian carpets are somewhat rarer. The garden panel design with its pictorial squares depicting trees, flowers, birds and animals is the most famous of the Bakhtiar rug designs. These multicolored and detailed rugs are pure art underfoot – like a painting on the floor. Other designs and motifs are repeating floral shapes and medallion and corner designs.
Strong reds, blues, browns, green and beige are predominant colors and the quality of these
Persian area rugs and knot density can vary, and are categorized into Bibbibaf and Jahadbaff categories.
Bibbibaf means grandmother weave symbolizing rugs woven in the old ways using local wool and vegetable dyes.
Jahadbaff rugs are higher KPSI rugs from organized rug weaving workshops, using finer wools and a plethora of designs. The
Turkish symmetrical knot is mostly used, with some areas using the asymmetrical
Persian knot. Most have a wool pile on a cotton foundation.
