ORIGIN STORY

The Bakhtiari Collection

Pairidaeza is a vintage Bakhtiari rug defined by bold medallion or garden-format compositions, vivid jewel-toned color, and a distinctly individual hand. Woven by the Bakhtiari tribal confederation of Persia's Zagros Mountains, these rugs are known for their saturated palettes and confident, symbolic motifs—tree of life, botehs, and layered medallions rendered with the freedom of village and tribal weaving rather than fixed commercial patterning.

Celebrated for their expressiveness, Bakhtiari rugs blend rich color with unmistakable character—slight asymmetries, shifting density, and weaver-specific nuance creating rugs that feel alive and unrepeatable. Their vivid, saturated tones make them striking centerpieces, bringing depth, warmth, and storytelling presence to both traditional and eclectic interiors.

Frequently asked questions

Are your heirloom rugs one-of-a-kind?

Yes. Every heirloom rug we sell is one of a kind. The piece shown is the exact rug you will receive, and it cannot be replaced once sold. Learn more about what makes our rugs heirlooms →

Are your rugs hand-knotted?

Yes. All heirloom, antique, and vintage rugs in our collection are traditionally hand-knotted, not machine-made.

Are your heirloom rugs authentic?

Yes. All heirloom rugs in our collection are genuine vintage or antique pieces—not reproductions. Each is traditionally hand-knotted and sourced from a historically recognized weaving region, with age, origin, and construction verified before listing.

What's the difference between vintage & antique rugs?

Antique rugs are typically over 100 years old, while vintage rugs generally date from the 20th century. Both are traditionally hand-knotted and regionally authentic; the difference lies primarily in age, not quality or craftsmanship.

Are antique and vintage rugs suitable for modern homes?

Most vintage rugs are well-suited for daily living. Antique rugs can also be used with care, depending on age and condition. We note any important considerations on each listing. Learn more about why buying vintage & antique matters →
