DESCRIPTION: BAKHTIARI rugs are named from the Bakhtiari tribe, one of the most ancient and well-known Persian tribes. This region is known for having very luxurious wool that produces excellent carpets. Their rugs have a warp and weft of cotton and the pile is clipped medium-high to high. There are a great variety of colours in the carpets produced in Bakhtiari, the principal colours include many shades of white and ivory, as well as various reds, browns, greens, and yellows, but relatively little blue. Bakhtiari design consists of a decorated field with lattice designs and floral ornaments that are as distinctly executed as the well-drawn medallion carpets of Saman. Old and antique Bakhtiari rugs are sought as rather rare collector's pieces, indeed old Bakhtiari are high in price.
