ABOUT THIS PIECE
Masterfully Handwoven in Chahar Mahal region of western Persia.
Woven over 50 years ago this carpet still features a lustrous pile owing to the use of high-quality handspun wool used in its construction.
The region of Chaharmahal on the slopes of Mount Zardkuh is famous for producing some of the most unique and hardy village carpets of Persia. Featuring a unique combination of geometric village motifs and elaborate floral designs inspired by motifs of nearby Isfahan, Chaharmahl rugs are made from sustainably sourced local handspun wool and natural dyes and are famous for their character and individuality.
The wool used in this weaving is undyed. It is the natural colour of wool, with no herbal or chemical additive.
Requiring a significant investment of time, expertise and material, Large Bakhtiari Chaharmahal carpets are the result of cooperation between a group of experts and can take many years to complete.
