This antique Persian rug, created in the Bakhtiari tradition circa 1930, features a traditional design. The background is amber, providing a warm canvas for the intricate patterns, while the border is in ivory, creating a distinct frame for the central artwork. The main color used throughout the design is yellow, adding a rich and vibrant hue. The rug is crafted with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, demonstrating the typical materials used in Bakhtiari rugs.
Bakhtiari rugs originate from the Zagros Mountains in Iran, an area known for its challenging terrain and resilient inhabitants. The Bakhtiari people are recognized for their artistic contributions, especially in carpet weaving. The design of Bakhtiari rugs distinguishes itself with a fusion of nomadic tribal motifs and urban design influences. The rug typically showcases large-scale cornucopia designs that symbolize abundance, along with abstract geometric designs, animal themes, and floral patterns, like the Guli Farang motif reflecting European influences.
The craftsmanship of Bakhtiari rugs is evident in the intricate line work and precise patterns. This rug is notable for its detailed central tree motif, stretching vertically and symmetrically across the rug, populated with floral and animal figures. These elements are meticulously woven, creating a dense and rich pattern around the central motif. The colors in the rug include shades of red and beige, with the background of the central tree in deep red and the motifs within the tree using a mix of beige, white, blue, and earthy tones. The borders incorporate more neutral tones, including beige and light brown, accented with highlights of red and dark blue, featuring repeating floral and geometric patterns that enhance the layered effect.
Historically, Bakhtiari carpets have been valued for centuries for their uniqueness and the individuality of their artisans. Early Bakhtiari designs evolved from 18th-century garden carpets, incorporating motifs like stylized trees, showcasing the creativity and narrative medium of the Bakhtiari people. The rich colors are a result of natural dyeing techniques, which have contributed to the high-quality wool used by artisans.
This particular Bakhtiari rug, with its detailed central motif and symmetrical design, is a fine example of the artistic and cultural heritage of the Bakhtiari weavers, reflecting the strength and sincerity of their craft.

Don’t take our word for it


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!


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.
