This antique Bakhtiari rug, originating from the Persian Zagros Mountains, showcases a traditional tribal design characteristic of the early 20th century, specifically around circa 1930. Crafted by the resilient Bakhtiari tribes, it embodies a unique blend of nomadic motifs and urban influences, thus distinguishing itself from other Persian rugs that typically adhere to a single stylistic approach.
The rug's background is an elegant ivory, which serves as the primary color and provides a subtle yet captivating canvas that enhances the intricate details of the overall pattern. The design features a detailed and ornate arrangement, comprising interconnected diamond shapes filled with stylized flowers, foliage, and small medallions. These complex geometric and floral motifs are a hallmark of the Bakhtiari weaving tradition, reflecting influences such as the Guli Farang design, which has European origins, and large-scale cornucopia motifs symbolizing abundance.
The color palette utilized in this rug is particularly rich and bold, predominantly showcasing deep reds, blues, and blacks. Accents of ivory and yellow strategically placed within the design add contrast and enhance the visibility of the intricate patterns. Notably, the dense and detailed central field is filled with closely spaced motifs that create a sense of complexity and richness.
Framed by a series of borders, the outermost one features a repeating pattern of floral motifs in various hues, including red, ivory, and blue. The inner borders, narrower in composition, carry geometric and floral elements that further frame the central design and contribute to the rug's overall balanced and harmonious appearance.
A notable feature of this rug is its use of symmetrical patterns along both the horizontal and vertical axes, contributing to its aesthetically pleasing and balanced look. While it does not contain a single central medallion, the rug presents a series of central diamond shapes that serve as focal points, each filled with smaller, detailed designs.
Crafted from high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, this rug demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship and precise detailing capabilities of Bakhtiari weavers. Utilizing natural dyeing techniques, these artisans have produced a piece with vibrant colors and intricate line work that stand the test of time.
This particular Bakhtiari rug is not only a stunning exemplar of Persian weaving traditions but also a piece of cultural significance, reflecting the historical and artistic contributions of the Bakhtiari tribes.

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.
