Bakhtiyar oriental rug 162 x 292 cm

Bakhtiyar rugs are hand-knotted wool rugs that are made in the area around the Zagros Mountains. They are characterised by bold, rustic patterns, such as central medallions or layouts resembling gardens, divided into square compartments filled with floral motifs. The designs use large colour blocks with strong outlines, creating a striking and bold aesthetic. The colours are typically derived from plant-based pigments, resulting in a balanced palette. The rugs are solid and durable, with a knot density ranging from 150,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre.
