Beautiful Bakhtiari - 1930s Antique Persian Rug - Tribal CarpetSize: 4.4 x 7.5 ft.The Bakhtiari tribe are bi-annually nomadic, migrating with their herds from the plains near the Persian Gulf on the east of the Zagros mountains in the summer to the more mountainous pasture in the west, and back again in the winter. To the east of the Zagros range lies the area of Chahar Mahal from which the bulk of Bakhtiari production comes.Here the actual weavers are a mixture of Kurds, Lurs, Armenian, some say even Turkoman tribespeople. One explanation is that in the early nineteenth century some of the Bakhtiari leaders settled in the Chahar Mahal region, where their relative wealth gave them the status of "gentry"; thus the Bakhtiari name was appended to the region and its rug production. The rugs are distinctive and desirable.Good condition! No stains, no odor. Sides and ends original. As shown in pictures.
