Originating from the Bakhtiari region in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, this antique Persian rug exemplifies the unique fusion of tribal and urban influences characteristic of Bakhtiari craftsmanship. Woven circa 1935, the rug features a dominant red background and an ivory border, made from high-quality wool on a cotton foundation.
Bakhtiari rugs are renowned for their diverse and intricate designs. This particular rug showcases a grid pattern filled with various motifs, including floral designs, trees, stylized animals, and geometric shapes. Each compartment within the grid is distinct, creating a tapestry of unique elements that exemplify the weavers' skill. The grid design maintains balance and symmetry, although no two compartments are identical, highlighting the individuality of each motif.
Rich reds, deep blues, and earthy tones such as dark browns and beiges dominate the color palette, with sparing use of white and black to create contrast. The rug's design is further enriched by multiple borders. The outermost border, filled with intricate floral and vine motifs, primarily in red, white, and blue, frames the central grid. An additional secondary border with a similar design and color scheme provides a layered effect, culminating in a narrower line border that seamlessly transitions to the central pattern.
The rug's dense patterning leaves no large, unadorned spaces, ensuring a richly decorated appearance. Despite the absence of a central medallion, the layout maintains a balanced and symmetrical look due to the uniform grid compartments.
The craftsmanship evident in this Bakhtiari rug, highlighted by the intricate line work and precise patterns, exemplifies the traditional weaving techniques of the region. The use of natural dyes contributes to the rug's rich, vibrant colors, while the high-quality wool enhances its durability and texture.
Bakhtiari rugs hold historical significance within Persian rug weaving traditions, reflecting the resilience and artistic contributions of the Bakhtiari people. This rug, with its detailed design and rich color palette, stands as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the Bakhtiari weavers during the early 20th century.

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.
