Bakhtiari Khesti Pattern 3x13 Runner

Tranquil garden pattern in all wool

Don't let this longer handmade runner get away

The Bakhtiari are a tribal group within the larger Qashqai group and closely related to the Lurs. Known for their elaborate, compartmentalized rug designs, they share the same traditional methods in rug production as the Lurs and Qashqai of high quality, hand-spun wool sourced from the Zagros Mountains and dyes produced using traditional plant and mineral means. Rugs from the Bakhtiari are typically made with high knot count and medium to high dense pile texture.

This Khesti style runner is one of the more signature style rugs associated with the Bakhtiari. The evenly divided area within a simple border represents the various plots within a garden. In each of these compartments a simple stylized plant or tree symbol indicates what is growing in that bed of the garden. at just over 13 feet this is a very hard to come by combination of craft and length as these runners are becoming more rare and harder to find.
