Unique Iranian Bakhtiari made of wool on cotton, with a unique multi-colored fringe and cream-fielded center medallion; leather binding to underside edges; measures approximately 5' x 8'9".The Bakhtiari tribes people of the rugged Zagros Mountains are famed for their perilous annual migrations over snow-capped peaks and for their lustrous, deep-toned antique tribal carpets displaying grand scale, cornucopian designs. Although they traditionally produced only geometric designs, the Bakhtiaris—along with the Armenian, Kurdish and other weavers of the Chahar Mahal—were also influenced by the floral carpets of the Persian cities, especially those of nearby Isfahan. This gave birth to an innovative and distinctive stylization found in these fantastic and durable rugs.
