 Rugs in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari have a great variety of design patterns and colors. One of these patterns is the "frame" design pattern that has its own variations. Frame design patterns are created in two ways: brick and Qabqabi. This paper will try to study the Qabqabi design pattern and its variants in rural area rug and its evolution. Variations of Qabqabi design pattern include simple frame, ring frame (cypress pine), Hassan Khani frame, bow frame, samovar frame and rose frame. The research questions include: When the frame design pattern was used for the first time in the area? What are the types of frame design patterns? What are the differences of filling motifs, structures and frame connections in different part of the province? How their evolution has been accomplished? The most diverse samples belong to which area? It has been also tried to use library-based and field study methods for classification and analysis of Qabqabi carpets of the area. For this purpose, the form of the frame, decorations of walls, connections, coloring of the frames, decorations within the frames within frames and the distribution of frames will also be examined.
