Discover the extraordinary durability and captivating artistry of this magnificent Early 20th Century Vintage Persian Bidjar Wide Runner, meticulously hand-knotted in the early 1900s. Originating from the skilled village weavers of the Bidjar region in Persia, these rugs are celebrated for their exceptionally dense "iron-like" weave, use of the finest wool, and vibrant, natural coloration—hallmarks of authentic tribal and village weaving.
This beautiful Bidjar runner showcases a striking double medallion design, which commands attention as it unfolds across a deep and inviting dark blue field. The medallions and surrounding field are adorned with the classic "Herati" (or Mahi) pattern, a profusion of intricate floral and leaf motifs that bring ageless beauty to the composition. The entire design is brought to life with a brilliant spectrum of all-natural vegetable dyes, ensuring rich, nuanced hues that deepen with time.
The border of this runner is exceptionally beautiful, featuring one of the most aesthetically pleasing designs. Set on a luminous ivory color background, it boasts an elegant leaf design gracefully running through it, rendered in complementary shades of warm brown, classic red, serene blue, and verdant green. This sophisticated border perfectly frames the main field, enhancing the rug's overall grandeur and decorative appeal.
