Heritage and Artisans of the Bakhtiari Tribe
The nomadic roots of the Bakhtiari tribe took them on journeys through the rugged terrain of the Iranian mountains, inspiring their unique rug designs. The resulting antique rugs feature a harmonious blend of tribal geometric motifs and Persian florals that reflect the strength and elegance of this culture. Shop the Bakhtiari style of Persian carpets and discover weaving traditions passed down for generations, imbuing Bakhtiari carpets with history, emotion, and cultural creativity.
Aesthetic Appeal and Versatility
Bakhtiari rugs offer you the chance to enhance your space with vibrant colors and intricate motifs. The texture and layering of colors and silhouettes result in an elegant warmth that elevates and grounds your interior design. Blend your Persian Bakhtiari carpet with modern or traditional decor, framing a rustic wooden table in your dining room, or add comfort to your contemporary bedroom with a rug at the foot of the bed. Timeless and sophisticated, Bakhtiari carpets fit in with every aesthetic.
Distinctive Designs and Patterns
