Bakhtiar carpets, named after the nomads of the Bakhtiari tribe, who live in the Sagros mountains near the city of Isfahan, are made of strong and sturdy wool are among the most robust of all Persian carpets. They are knotted from thick wool, which reduces their deterioration and resistance to everyday stress. Bakhtiar carpets are often made with motifs inspired by gardens. The so-called Chesti pattern features designs with plants and animals from nature. They are inspired by typical Persian gardens. From time to time, one also finds carpets of the Bakhtiari, whose patterns resemble those of the nearby Isfahan region. This type of carpet is often found in the entrance area or passageways of Iranian houses.
