Description
4'1" x 6'10" ft clean hand knotted authentic antique worn rug (very early 1900s estimate baktiari). The rug has been professionally cleaned with no stains, animal or smoke. This piece is made of sheep wool and natural vegetable dyes by skilled crafts people of the Baktiari tribe. Natural dyes oxidize over the century giving light and dark shades of each color called 'abrash' by curators, giving lots of tone nuance. Double tied knots on two foundation layers for another 100 years of utility and beauty. There is antique wear or low pile over the century but durable and clean to serve another century. Old world quality and fair price. See all images and closeups. #6323
