10×13 Navy Bakhtiari Hand-knotted Tribal Area Rug
Deep navy gives this Bakhtiari-inspired rug a rich, composed presence, while a grid of tribal symbols brings detail worth lingering over. The borderless design lets the pattern extend across the composition without a surrounding frame, lending a contemporary openness to its traditional inspiration. Generously proportioned, it anchors a spacious seating area beautifully, especially alongside warm wood, ivory upholstery, and sculptural furnishings.

Quality & Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch, this rug features Ghazni handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation. Subtle variations in the spun yarn give the surface tactile character, adding richness beyond the pattern itself. The cotton foundation contributes flexibility, while the pile’s natural resilience offers durability and comfort for everyday use with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this piece draws on the compartmental structure of Bakhtiari brick designs. Each rectangle provides a setting for its motif, bringing individual ornaments together into an ordered whole. Afghan hand-knotting craftsmanship gives that arrangement lasting form, creating a textile that connects traditional decorative ideas with a refined, modern interior.
