Kurdish Bidjar 1693

Beautiful late 19th Century Persian Kurdish Bidjar area rug/runner. Woven in the late 1800s.  This beautiful rug features an exquisite and exceptionally detailed allover pattern of small flower forms, which is a variation of the paisley motif. In many oriental cultures, the paisley is considered the “seed of life,” symbolizing fertility, eternity, and the universe. This meaningful and intricate design covers the entire field, creating a visually captivating and harmonious tapestry.

The rug's main field is a soft and luminous pale yellow, with the small flowers and accents rendered in a harmonious palette of creamy ivory, delicate pink, and serene blue. The composition is beautifully framed by a primary border in a lovely cream color, which provides a subtle and elegant contrast to the field. The sub-borders, in a rich rust red, add a layer of warmth and depth, perfectly tying the rug's palette together.
