This handmade vintage tribal Four Seasons design Persian Bakhtiari rug with floral, animal, tree and garden motifs has a unique and colorful palette and charming details. This sturdy fine quality rug has an even low pile that can withstand high traffic and will continue to last for generations. The Four Seasons design is a hallmark of Bakhtiari rugs, 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 the bright shades of lime green, azure blue, coral and lemonade pink create a bright and cheerful rug.  Additional colors include navy blue, copper, cherry red, ballet slipper pink, royal blue, pale yellow,  ivory and countless other delightful shades that harmonize beautifully in this pictorial rug.  Trees, exotic birds, flowers, and leaves are complemented by other geometric patterns that fill every corner of the rug. The ivory frame further lightens and brightens the rug, and its colorful garland of tribal flowers on the vine is the perfect complement, incorporating all of the rug's beautiful colors.  You can get lost in the details. This rug has a few areas of minor color running, where the pink or red bleed into the ivory (see last photo for close-up).  This is what makes this rug "distressed".  It adds to the one of a kind handmade nature of this special oriental rug.  Size: 5'6"x9'2"
