bakhtiar bag

Antique Bakhtiar bags belong to a wider Persian weaving tradition that also includes rugs and Kilims made for domestic use and commerce. Bakhtiari weavers are especially known for Soumak bags, where compact lattice, floral and geometric designs bring the visual language of larger carpets to portable woven objects.

the broader Bakhtiari repertoire includes garden or Khesti compartments, decorated fields and clearly drawn medallions. white and ivory sit alongside reds, browns, greens and yellows, with naturally dyed older pieces often carrying a particularly harmonious, time-softened range.
