Description

Bakhtiari oriental rugs woven before 1950 were examples of tribal rugs, which are traditionally smaller rugs, with wool yarns hand knotted onto a wool foundation. The nomadic lifestyle of these sheep herding tribes, moving their stock from winter to summer pasture, dictated the necessity of smaller and easily movable looms, using the wool from their sheep for the foundation and pile of their rugs.

Sometime in the middle of the last century, these nomadic tribes began to settle in various villages in Western Iran. Weaving looms that did not have to be seasonally moved could be larger and sturdier, making the production of larger size rugs possible. The use of cotton for the foundation of the rugs also became more and more common. Bakhtiari rugs woven today use wool pile knotted on cotton foundations.
Generally speaking, Bakhtiari rugs are made of very good wool with the knots thoroughly beaten down to make the rugs thick and solid. They are considered to be one of the most durable and long-lasting of Persian rugs.

? Choosing the right rug can transform your living room!

  • Size matters: Make sure your rug fits the seating area all furniture legs should rest on it or at least the front legs.
  • Style & color: Pick a rug that complements your furniture. Neutral rugs work well for bold furniture, while colorful rugs add vibrancy to neutral rooms.
  • Material: For high-traffic areas, choose durable materials like wool or synthetic fibers.
  • Texture: Plush rugs add warmth, while flat-weave rugs are easier to maintain.

If you are considering a hand made Persian rug of exceptional quality I highly recommend Pasargad. We purchased a 10 x 13 Kerman for our living room and we absolutely love it. Cyrus and his team delivered excellent customer service with an impressive level of expertise in rug making techniques and the history of these classic carpets. Initially we weren't sure what we wanted beyond colors. The Pasargad team very patiently laid out a (large) number of rugs so we could see and compare. The on-site inventory at Pasargad is extraordinary with rugs of all sizes, colors, shapes, and origins. Oh, and convenience: Cyrus encouraged us to 'try it' in our living room for a day and a night. He and his assistant Pablo brought the rug to our home and moved/replaced our furniture to install it. They then came back and installed the under pad after we decided to keep the rug. Overall a great buying experience--product quality, customer service and a reasonable price.
