The Bakhtiari-teppich is, along with other weaving techniques, an important art form of the Bakhtiari tribe, which originated in Persian located in the Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari region. Since the beginning of the 19th century, Bakhtiari carpets have been exported all over the world.
Geography
Although they were originally from Bakhtiari-Nomadic people, most authentic Bakhtiari carpets are made in the sedentary Bakhtiari communities of mid-western Persia, southwest of Isfahan, woven in Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari and in parts of Isfahan, Lorestan and Eastern Khuzestan provinces, particularly in the city of Shahr-Kurd. The Bakhtiari carpets were also known as Saman or Hureh (Hori) after their place of origin. However, Bakhtiari's patterns were used in other weaving centers in Persia, in Pakistan, India and China imitated; the local name often refers to the place of origin of the pattern and the quality of the carpet, not necessarily the actual place of manufacture. Saman and Hori are now viewed as quality characteristics of Bakhtiari carpets rather than geographical designations.
Mechanical Design
Bakhtiari carpets are based on a cotton base (warp) with a weft Wool, which usually comes from the herds of the producing tribe. This results in unique carpets that vary depending on the properties of the wool of each tribe. The wool can range from dull to extremely shiny, and the resulting pile is cut medium to high. The best carpets with the highest knot density are often referred to as Bibibaff. Prices vary widely, with the rugs with the highest knot density tending to be the most expensive, but the price is also influenced by criteria such as the pattern and dyes used. The plays Chapel Shotur and Saman are rated slightly lower than the Bibibaff productions, but are still considered good to excellent. The Hori rugs are looser woven and of lower quality, so are usually very affordable.
Sizes range from narrow hall rugs to models for large rooms, often measuring up to 4m × 5m. Larger rugs tend to be very rare and harder to find. Likewise, older rugs, which are often coveted by collectors, can be extremely expensive.
Motivs
The patterns are usually inspired by flowers or gardens. A well-established garden pattern, the Khesti is perhaps the best-known carpet pattern. The carpet is divided into individual squares in which animals and plants serve as symbols. Another influential motif shows a field decorated with latticework and floral ornaments.
Colors
The use of colors varies according to the styles of particular tribes. Generally, they include shades of white, red, brown, green, and yellow. Natural dyes lead to color deviations, which are particularly evident in the oldest Bibibaffs.
