This handmade vintage tribal Four Seasons design Persian Bakhtiari rug with floral, bird, tree and garden motifs has a sumptuous color palette and charming details. This sturdy fine quality rug has a full, low pile that can withstand high traffic and will continue to last for generations.  There are a few ares of lower pile, which is what makes this rug "distressed". (See the last photo for a close-up).  The Four Seasons design is a checkerboard pattern in which each square represents one of the four seasons.  In this rug, the squares resemble windows to the garden, with views of the changing seasons through the trees, animals and flowers.  The colors are made from only natural dyes and they are incredibly rich, from cherry red, turquoise, peach, olive and purple to hunter green, lemon yellow, bright orange ans countless other delightful shades that harmonize beautifully in this pictorial rug.  Trees, exotic birds, flowers, leaves, and other geometric patterns fill every corner of the rug, framed by a bright ivory border that lightens the rug and pulls out the ivory throughout.  The border is a garland of flowers in all of the same dazzling colors.  You can get lost in the details.
