Handmade stunning and vibrant distressed Persian Bakhtiari.  The tribal and floral medallion design is a hallmark of rugs from this region. Hand-knotted in the 1970s, this rug has stunning details and lush colors made from only vegetable and other natural dyes.   Cherry red is the backdrop for intricate floral and vine designs in tribal style. The details are dazzling, including an array of exotic flowers and colorful birds. The medallion is midnight and cornflower blue with pink and white accents that appear throughout the rug. Bright white brightens and lightens the rug from the center to the ribbons around the border and they are the perfect contrast to the explosion of colors such as sapphire, gold, silver, dusty rose, charcoal, yellow, walnut, hunter green, olive green, and countless others. This rug is distressed, with areas where there is slight color running or low pile -- see photos (and happy to share others). These imperfections are not very noticeable and make this piece more affordable! The rug can still withstand  years of high traffic with its sturdy, village weave. It will last generations.  Size: 6'9"x10'2"
