WHO HAS WOVEN THIS BAKHTIARI RUG?
A nomadic tribe in central Iran, Bakhtiari people have hand-woven their spectacular
rugs for several centuries, and perhaps several thousand years. Thus, a long
tradition of rug weaving continues the cultural and folkloric heritage of this
unique tribe. Bakhtiari rugs are perhaps one of the finest, oldest, most famous
and desirable of the Persian tribal rugs. Bakhtiari region is located near the
city of Isfahan in Central Iran. Some of the Bakhtiaris immigrate back and forth
between the warmer areas of South Iran and the cooler mountain air of North
Central Iran, all the while taking their sheep herds with them through rough
terrain and dangerous mountain passes. The wool from their sheep herds are cultivated
for the weaving of their superb rugs. Oftentimes, a checkerboard field pattern
of squares, representative of a Persian garden decorated with bird and animal
images, typifies the Bahktiari design and motif, but in other instances geometric
and floral patterns are also woven with great elegance and mastery. Their uniquely
colorful designs express their love of nature and the natural beauty that enchants
them in their daily life. Because of their superior quality wool and high degree
of craftsmanship, antique Bakthiari rugs are highly collectible and proven to
last for several generations--bound to become an heirloom.
