Thank you for viewing my listing from among many others. This is a very old vintage rug from the Bakhtiari tribe of Iran, approximately 70-80 years old. It is made of wool with cotton warp. The thickness is about 8mm. For a rug of this age, it is in beautiful condition and has sufficient pile, but it has also been repaired. The size is approximately 290cm x 154cm. The Bakhtiari are a nomadic people who live in the Zagros Mountains west of Isfahan. The nomadic life of the Bakhtiari dates back centuries, and they have inherited one of the oldest lifestyles in the world, deeply rooted in tradition and respect for nature. West Iranian rugs generally have a lot of colorful colors, and this one is also a work with a strong impact. We hope you will enjoy the unique world view created by nomads, which cannot be produced in modern products. It can be used in places where people gather, such as living rooms, as well as in shopfronts and small spaces. It is an item that brightens up the room and lifts your spirits. A desolate room will be transformed into a different space with this single rug. This is a valuable, once-in-a-lifetime item for those who want to change stagnant air or luck. Natural fibers such as wool and silk breathe, so by laying a rug, you can keep cool in the summer, keep warm in the winter, and have a moisturizing effect. It absorbs dust, preventing it from rising, and is also ideal for people with allergies. It is also safe for floor heating. As a characteristic of old wool rugs, the back side is quite whitish and faded. Also, it has a stronger analog feel than the precision of a hand-woven rug woven in a workshop. We ask that you purchase this item if you understand the age of hand-woven rugs, such as fraying and distortion. Cleaned. Please understand that it will be shipped folded via Mercari delivery. #Tribal Rug #Oriental Carpet #Isfahan #Bakchuali #Bakhtiari #Qashqai #Bakhtiyari #Bakhtiari
