This rug is an antique Bakhtiari piece, reflecting the rich tribal weaving traditions of the Bakhtiari people from the Zagros Mountains in Iran. The Bakhtiari are known for their resilience and significant contributions to carpet weaving, characterized by a blend of nomadic tribal motifs and urban design elements.
Crafted around 1915, this Persian rug showcases a detailed and symmetrical floral pattern adorning its central field. The predominant background color is a deep blue, providing a rich canvas for the intricate floral motifs. These motifs include stylized leaves, vines, and flowers, closely arranged to produce a lush, garden-like effect with minimal empty space. The floral designs vary in color, featuring muted reds and oranges, lighter shades of beige and ivory, interspersed with darker blues and greens.
The border of the rug is a distinctive rust color, embellished with diverse decorative elements. It consists of multiple layers, with the innermost border being a narrow band of red covered with small floral motifs. The main outer border is wider and showcases complex designs that include scrolling vines and flowers set against a beige background.
The rug's design is highly symmetrical, featuring mirrored floral motifs across both the vertical and horizontal axes. This symmetry, along with the densely packed patterns, conveys a highly detailed and refined appearance typical of Bakhtiari craftsmanship. Made from wool on a cotton foundation, the rug exemplifies the Bakhtiari's exceptional weaving techniques and use of natural dyes.
This antique Bakhtiari rug represents a significant piece of Persian textile history, reflecting the sociocultural identity and artistic ingenuity of the Bakhtiari weaving tradition.

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.
