Chahar Mahal چهارمحال

Chahar Mahal is the district near Isfahan, now the province of Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari, whose villages are thought to produce most of the rugs sold as village Bakhtiari. These are typically single-wefted on cotton foundations, and inscribed examples name their villages, such as Shalamzar. Medallion-and-corner, prayer and figural designs, including a group with heraldic lions, are associated with the district.
