The Bakhtiari rug described here originates from Persia and is a traditional piece dating back to circa 1925. It represents the craftsmanship of the Bakhtiari tribes from Iran's Zagros Mountains, renowned for their challenging terrain where weaving practices have been preserved. This antique rug, woven from wool on a cotton foundation, showcases typical Bakhtiari characteristics including intricate and detailed designs, drawing from both nomadic and urban influences. The main colors of this rug are shades of beige, with a beige background and taupe borders.

The rug's design is densely packed with elaborate floral and paisley patterns, interwoven with spiral and vine motifs. This high density of elements contributes to its rich and complex visual texture. The color palette predominates in shades of beige, tan, and brown, with darker accents of black and muted greens and blues, giving the rug an antique feel that suggests its age and elegance.

Multiple borders feature in this Bakhtiari rug. The outermost border is a deeper beige with intricate black floral and vine patterns, followed by narrower borders that reiterate the same design elements in a more compact form. These borders are segmented by thinner linear motifs, creating a visually layered effect.

Symmetry is a key aspect of the rug’s design, evident along both length and width. This symmetry is visible in the central medallion and the surrounding motifs, which are mirrored on either side, providing a balance and harmony to the overall appearance. The density of the pattern increases towards the central area, where the details become more intricate and packed. In contrast, the border areas exhibit a slightly lower density, ensuring that the central medallion and surrounding motifs stand out more prominently.

In terms of artistic features, Bakhtiari weavers demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship, with intricate line work and precise patterns resulting in distinct details. The use of natural dyeing techniques contributes to the rich colors and high-quality wool observed in this rug. Historically, Bakhtiari carpets have evolved from 18th-century garden carpets, incorporating motifs like stylized trees, thus exemplifying a blend of creativity over time.

This Bakhtiari rug, with its detailed and balanced design, reflects the artistry and traditions of its weavers. The rug's aesthetic, characterized by symmetrical patterns, intricate motifs, and a harmonious color palette, underscores its significance within the Persian rug weaving traditions.

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.
