Originating from Persia, this traditional Bakhtiari rug embodies quintessential elements of early 20th-century craftsmanship. It dates back to circa 1920 and showcases the distinguished style for which Bakhtiari rugs are renowned.

Bakhtiari rugs are produced by the Bakhtiari tribes in the rugged Zagros Mountains of Iran. The intricate designs seen in these carpets blend elements of both nomadic tribal motifs and urban artistry. The diversity in their patterns sets them apart from other Persian rugs, often reflecting a mix of abstract geometric shapes, animal themes, and floral patterns, prominently the Guli Farang, which has European influences. Commonly, Bakhtiari carpets are also known for their large-scale cornucopia designs, symbolizing abundance and affluence.

The craftsmanship in creating Bakhtiari rugs is notable for its intricacy and precision. The weavers use high-quality wool and natural dyes, resulting in rugs with rich and enduring colors. Historically, these rugs have been valued for their uniqueness and the distinctive expression of the artisans' creativity, evolving from the 18th-century garden carpets with motifs like stylized trees. These designs are not merely decorative but serve as a medium to reflect the identity and cultural strength of the Bakhtiari people.

This particular rug features a deep navy blue background that sets the stage for an elaborate pattern of floral and botanical motifs. Flowers, leaves, and vines are meticulously arranged to create a lush and decorative appearance, with a symmetrical design along both horizontal and vertical axes. This symmetry imparts a balanced and harmonious look to the rug.

The colors in this rug are vibrant and contrasting. While navy blue dominates the background, the motifs are highlighted in red, cream, light blue, and touches of yellow, adding depth and vividness to the intricate patterns. The dense design leaves little plain background, with every inch of the rug adorned in rich detail, which draws the eye and invites closer inspection.

Distinctive borders frame the central design, enhancing its overall aesthetic. The outermost border is predominantly red, decorated with alternating floral patterns in lighter shades such as blue and cream. Inside this, a narrower cream border contains a series of small floral elements, arranged in a line to frame the central design effectively.

As a wool-on-cotton rug, it not only exemplifies the remarkable craftsmanship of Bakhtiari weavers but also holds historical and cultural significance, reflecting the artistry and resilience of the Bakhtiari tribes in the early 20th century.

Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.

I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!

Susan

Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.

In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!

Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
