Description
Bakhtiari

These carpets are made in the Chahar Mahal (“Four Places”) are of southwest Iran by sedentary villagers, some Armenian, rather than by the nomadic Bakhtiari tribespeoples. They tend to large, square sizes, often over 20 feet in length. Designs are frequently a panel pattern derived from garden carpets, but also lozenge lattices or angular medallions also appear. Colors are bright and the weave is robust. A small group of rugs was made for the Bakhtiari Khans (tribal leaders) early in the 20th century. They are often inscribed and are of very fine workmanship. The more frequently encountered pieces are moderately priced and often in excellent condition.
