The antique Bakhtiari rug, originating from Persia around circa 1944, is an exquisite example of traditional tribal design. This specific rug showcases a prominent blue background and a complementary red border, with the primary color being blue. The material composition consists of wool woven onto a cotton foundation, a hallmark of durable and high-quality craftsmanship.

Bakhtiari rugs are made by the Bakhtiari tribes of the Zagros Mountains in Iran, a region known for its rugged landscape and rich weaving traditions. The Bakhtiari people are reputed for their resilience and their unique contribution to the art of carpet weaving. Their rugs feature a blend of nomadic tribal motifs, integrating elements from urban designs, a characteristic that sets them apart from other Persian rugs.

Typical Bakhtiari designs include abstract geometric patterns, as well as animal and floral themes. Pivotal design elements often include large-scale cornucopia motifs that symbolize abundance and the Guli Farang, reflecting European influences. These rugs are noted for their exceptional craftsmanship, marked by intricate line work and precise patterns achieved through traditional weaving techniques. The weavers utilize natural dyeing methods to attain the rich, vibrant colors that these carpets are known for.

Historically, Bakhtiari carpets have been around for centuries and are celebrated for their distinctiveness and the individuality of their artisans. Over time, the designs have evolved, starting from 18th-century garden carpets featuring stylized trees and other motifs, exhibiting a creative blend that continues to be admired. Bakhtiari carpets encapsulate the cultural narratives of their makers, reflecting the strength and sincerity of the Bakhtiari people.

In terms of collector's value, antique Bakhtiari rugs, especially those made in the 19th and early 20th centuries, are highly prized for their historical and artistic significance. They maintain a robust market demand due to their rarity and unique aesthetic qualities.

The detailed design of this particular Bakhtiari rug includes a geometric pattern composed of interconnected diamond shapes filled with detailed motifs, such as floral elements, abstract shapes, and animal representations. The rug employs a bold and saturated color palette featuring deep reds, rich blues, pastel pinks, vibrant yellows, and various shades of green. The borders of the rug are distinct, with the outermost and innermost borders showcasing a simple repeating abstract pattern on a vibrant red background, while the middle border displays intricate and colorful floral motifs on an ivory backdrop.

The rug also presents a sense of bilateral symmetry along its vertical axis, where the patterns and motifs within the diamonds mirror each other, retaining the handcrafted charm that is often associated with such artistic techniques. This complex and dense patterning with minimal empty space creates a visually rich and busy design, characteristic of high-quality Bakhtiari carpets.

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.
