An exceptional 19th century Persian Bidjar wide runner, handwoven in the late 1800s, featuring an extraordinarily rare ivory field adorned with a richly detailed allover paisley pattern—a hallmark of sophisticated village weaving. The intricately composed floral and boteh (paisley) motifs display an exquisite palette of pink, blue, yellow, and brown, creating a harmonious composition of color and movement.
The primary border, set against a deep navy ground, features angular geometric motifs in vivid tones of green, red, and brown, offering a striking contrast to the light field. Guard borders in a warm saffron yellow are adorned with stylized red flower heads, adding depth and vibrancy to the piece.
This wide-format Bidjar runner is not only visually compelling but also a testament to the durability and craftsmanship that Bidjar weavings are known for. A rare and highly collectible piece, it’s ideally suited for grand hallways, entry galleries.
