Old Bakhtiari
This rug in rust red and dark blue combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. A knot density of around 200,000 knots per m² makes the demanding workmanship visible – right down to the finely worked details. At 377 × 98 cm, it is well placed as a hallway runner. It also looks good in the kitchen in front of the worktop. This one-of-a-kind piece brings a character of its own into the room and holds its value far beyond short-lived trends.

Origin
The Bakhtiari (also Bachtiari) are an ancient, widely branching people living in south-western Iran. The collective name for their rugs is Bakhtiar or Bakhtiari, where the ‘i’ corresponds to our preposition ‘of’. Bakhtiari rugs – the rugs of the Bakhtiari – take in numerous sub-provenances with a range of pattern types. For all this breadth, Bakhtiar rugs resemble one another in their colour compositions, in their various handcrafted techniques and in their line, which is always floral.Bakhtiari rugs are made mainly with natural dyes, which feel pleasant despite their intensity and take on a beautiful patina over the years. Frequently used colours are brown for the outlines, plus red, bottle green, yellow and white as a highlight that gives the rug its likeable character.
This Old Bakhtiari is around 121 years old and a real collector's piece.
Material
The pile of this Old Bakhtiari was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Old Bakhtiari is made of new wool.
Condition
This Old Bakhtiari has had admirers before you. Translated from Persian, the following is knotted into this antique runner: 1323 It was knotted around 1905. We have cleaned it thoroughly and lovingly restored it. It is therefore – despite its age – in very good condition.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.

The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
