10×13 Ivory Bakhtiari Transitional Tribal Rug
A warm ivory palette gives this Bakhtiari-inspired rug an understated elegance, while a grid of tribal symbols rewards a closer look. Its borderless composition feels expansive, allowing the rectangular pattern to define the piece without a heavy frame. Hand-knotted in wool, it brings texture and visual interest to a neutral interior, pairing beautifully with pale oak, curved seating, and natural linen.

Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni handspun wool gives the pile a richly textured surface, bringing depth to the restrained palette. At 82 knots per square inch, the hand-knotted construction provides definition to the individual motifs. A cotton foundation contributes flexibility, while the pile’s natural resilience offers durability for everyday living. With proper care, this is a piece to enjoy for years.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug draws on the compartmental arrangement of Bakhtiari brick designs. Each framed symbol becomes a small decorative study within a larger, ordered composition. Afghan hand-knotting skill gives that structure its tangible form, while the ivory coloring and open edges bring a contemporary sensibility to the traditional inspiration.
