About this Bakhtiari Rug:- Hand knotted in Iran. 100% Wool Pile. Made in 1960's. Purchased new in 2002. In very good condition. Did not have heavy traffic so not worn in any area. Size: 10'3" x 6’11" (306cm x 213 1/2 cm) This beautiful rug was hand-knotted by nomads of the Bakhtiari tribe. Bakhtiari carpets are made of strong and sturdy wool. They are knotted from thick wool, which reduces their deterioration. In many places Bakhtiar carpets are made with motifs inspired by gardens. The oversized Bakhtiari carpets represent the endeavors of a group of highly skilled weavers and dyers, and usually took up to six years to complete. As well as the enormous time investment this presented, they also posed distinct artistic challenges, and the level of harmony and balance they achieve in their best antique rugs, not to mention their truly inspiring artistry, is incredible.
