8×12 Bakhtiari Tribal Rug — Hand-Knotted (Exact 250 × 350 cm)
A statement piece with quiet confidence. This hand-knotted Bakhtiari rug from Maymana, Afghanistan pairs a classic brick layout with modern restraint—each “brick” holds a unique tribal symbol, giving rhythm and meaning to the design. Sized at 250 × 350 cm (exactly 8 ft 2 in × 11 ft 6 in), it anchors larger spaces with ease. The palette—cream, blue, and black—keeps things crisp and versatile, while the fine build rewards close inspection.

Quality
At 132 knots per square inch, the pattern reads with crisp edges and clean negative space—exactly what you want in a brick-panel Bakhtiari. The Biljik Premium Kurk wool (a fine, supple lambswool) gives the pile a soft, velvety hand and a refined luster. The cotton foundation keeps the rug stable and true, so edges stay straight and the field lays flat over time.
Origin & Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, this piece draws on regional know-how passed from loom to loom. Artisans render the Bakhtiari grid with patience, then vary the symbols inside each panel to create movement—subtle differences that make the rug feel collected rather than manufactured. It’s an honest, well-built 8×12 Bakhtiari tribal rug designed to live beautifully and age with character.
