Bahktiari Catalog Number: 2155 Dimensions: 8'9" x 12' Price: $3,800 Early 1920's. This Bahktiari rug is of superior quality to those made after 1935. These rugs are thicker and have a natural silkiness. Often confused with Shiraz or Kurd Shiraz carpets, the Bahktiari is named after a Nomadic tribe; however, Bahktiari rugs are actually woven in villages in the Chahar Mahal district and not by the Bahktiari tribes.
