This Persian antique rug, originating from the Bakhtiari region, exhibits a tribal style characteristic of the Bakhtiari carpets traditionally woven in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. The rug's modern design features a navy background, complemented by a red border and primarily blue coloration, woven with wool on a cotton foundation. Dated circa 1925, this piece is a typical example of Bakhtiari craftsmanship.
The Bakhtiari people are known for blending nomadic tribal motifs with urban design elements in their rugs, distinguishing them from other Persian rugs. Common motifs in Bakhtiari rugs include abstract geometric designs, animal themes, and floral patterns, such as the Guli Farang design symbolizing European influences. The Bakhtiari weavers often use large-scale cornucopia patterns symbolizing abundance.
This particular rug showcases a complex and detailed design, with a grid-like layout of square panels, each containing unique floral and botanical elements. The primary colors—rich shades of red, blue, and dark brown—are balanced by accent colors like white, pink, and green, highlighting specific details within the squares.
The borders of the rug are noteworthy, featuring multiple layers that frame the central grid. The innermost border is narrow, adorned with small repeating floral motifs. The outermost border is broader, with larger, more intricate botanical designs that echo the patterns in the central grid, featuring swirling vines and larger blossoms. Between these two, additional smaller borders contribute to the overall complexity of the design.
The symmetry of the rug is meticulously balanced, both in the arrangement of the square panels and the patterns within each panel, resulting in a harmonious and visually satisfying appearance. The use of natural dyes by the artisans imparts rich colors to the wool, ensuring the rug's high quality.
Antique Bakhtiari carpets have historical significance, appreciated for their uniqueness and the individual creativity of their weavers, evolving from 18th-century garden carpets. The artistic techniques, rich colors, and intricate designs of the Bakhtiari rugs reflect the strength and sincerity of the weavers, representing the identity of the Bakhtiari people. This rug, like other antique Bakhtiari carpets from the early 20th century, is valued for its historical and artistic quality.

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.
