In the mountains Zagros, west of the city of Isfahan, around the town of Shahr-e-Kurd, live the nomads Bakhtiar. Their rugs are known for the design with various repeating squares in which flowers and animals are depicted. For this reason the design is called "garden"(Khesti). Their rugs are very durable with a dense weave and very good quality Persian wool coming from sheep grazing at a high altitude. The best Bakhtiari rugs with highest knot density are often called Bibibaff.
With the name Ornak we mean small rugs that the Nomads use as a sample and as a pattern in order to weave bigger rugs. Every ornak rug is usually one quarter of the motif of a bigger rug. When the Nomads weave a rug by using an Ornak as a pattern they add or leave out some motifs, they may use the same or other colours, so that in the end they create their own creation.
Nomadic rugs with designs influenced by urban rugs: They are rugs woven by nomads who for the past few years had been living in villages. The rugs are woven in the nomadic style of weaving, but their designs are nowadays influenced by urban rugs. Due to the nomadic style of weaving rugs are sometimes uneven in shape.
All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.
