A vintage Persian Bakhtiari rug. This rustic central Persian Chahar Mahal district small carpet presents an old ivory border with an attached serrated repeating square design borrowed from Caucasian rugs. The hexagonal, stepped rust field is set in abrashed dark blue corners and displays an ivory sub-medallion. Geometric shapes are scattered about. A good substitute for a Heriz or Bidjar. with a slightly mellow palette.
