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 Antique Bakhtiari is a collector's piece. It is around 116 years old, and that alone makes it a truly special piece. Antique rugs such as this Antique Bakhtiari are as sought after as ever and fetch top prices at renowned auction houses.

Material

The pile of this Antique 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 number of impressive qualities: 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 weft and warp threads of this Antique Bakhtiari are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and pliable, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

Condition

This Antique Bakhtiari has a story to tell. It was knotted around 116. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but unrestored condition. Over the years the pile has become a little thinner. A small piece of the border is missing on one side. The edges and fringes of the rug are damaged and could do with a repair. We have not restored this Antique Bakhtiari because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If that is what you would prefer, we are of course happy to restore the rug for you. Either way, this Antique Bakhtiari will give you pleasure for decades to come.
