Magnificent Early 20th Century Vintage Persian Bidjar (Bijar) Gallery Rug, meticulously hand-knotted circa the early 1900s. Renowned for their unparalleled tightness of weave and robust construction, Bidjar carpets are widely considered among the finest-woven rugs from Persia. This exceptional quality is achieved by "wetting" the weft in each row before combing, a technique that results in the use of twice as much material, creating an incredibly dense and enduring pile.
This stunning gallery rug features a vibrant red or rust color field, serving as a warm and inviting backdrop for its intricate designs. The field is elegantly adorned with an all-over Herati geometric pattern, a classic motif brought to life with accent colors including verdant green, classic red, deep navy blue, and creamy ivory.
The rug's central medallion and captivating corner spandrels showcase a beautiful floral theme, rendered in a harmonious palette of rich red, delicate pink, serene blue, and vibrant green. These key design elements are beautifully set against a deep navy blue background, which highlights additional accent colors such as verdant green, warm brown, and soft light blue. The composition is expertly framed by a sophisticated navy blue border, featuring charming flower heads in pink and red, which elegantly ties the entire design together.
