Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
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, or as a statement wall display. A true connoisseur's rug, full of refined elegance and historic value.
