Tibetian Rugs

Since Tibet is considered to be a very mysterious region, everything that originates from Tibet attracts people very much. By right, Tibet is considered to be one of the main centers of Buddhism. That is why Tibetan art is deeply intertwined with Buddhism. As a rule, there is not much furniture in Tibetan houses, and “the leading role” is played by Tibetan rugs in domestic environment

Mostly, pictures of religious content are painted on Tibetan rugs. But also there are a high variety of Tibetan rugs with secular pictures on them. Generally Tibetan rugs are intended for use as mats to sit on or for meditation.

The Bakhtiari design is also known as the paneled-garden design, which is the most popular and unique variation of the Bakhtiar. The field of the Bakhtiar rug is divided into compartments or panels, containing individual motifs or patterns. Often a set of 3-4 compartments is repeated throughout the field.Bakhtiars are sometimes made in conjunction with medallions but usually are all-over rugs

example, a tribal Bakhtiar can range in knotting from approximately 60 knots per square inch up to about 150 knots per square inch.

The dominant colors of the tribal Bakhtiars are red, blues, and greens. These Bakhtiar rugs, as with most tribal rugs, have 100% wool piles on a wool base.
