Bakhtiari rugs are woven by the Bakhtiari people in the Chahar Mahal region of west-central Iran, in the villages around Shahr-e Kord at the foot of the Zagros Mountains. Knotted on a cotton foundation with sturdy, hand-spun wool, they are robust village pieces built for generations of everyday use.
The signature Bakhtiari design is the kheshti, or garden panel: a grid of square compartments, each filled with a different tree, flower or bird motif, in warm reds, indigo, gold and green. It is one of the most instantly recognisable and cheerful layouts in all of Persian weaving.
Measuring 282 × 214 cm, with an area of 6.03 m², crafted from Hand-spun Wool, Hand-knotted, this piece is a testament to masterful craftsmanship. The knot density of 201,000 – 250,000 / m² speaks to the extraordinary care woven into every inch.
Preserved in perfect condition, robust, warm and full of character, a bakhtiari brings a whole garden of motifs into the home.
Fine quality weave
At 282 × 214 cm (6.03 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 6.03 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
