This antique Persian rug originates from the Bijar region of Kurdistan in Western Persia, designed in a traditional style. The rug, crafted circa 1920, features a red background and a navy border, with the primary material being wool on a cotton foundation.

Bijar rugs are known for their exceptional durability, resulting from their dense and sturdy construction. Double-wefted weaving techniques are typical of these rugs, contributing to their robustness and long-lasting quality. They often showcase traditional Kurdish geometric designs, which can include notable motifs like the Herati pattern, as well as nature-inspired themes such as continuous flowers, vines, and sometimes boteh motifs.

This particular Bijar rug boasts a rich red backdrop, accentuated by its complex design and intricate detailing. The central medallion is a significant feature, characterized by its symmetry and elaborate patterning. This medallion, set against a dark navy blue base, includes a mix of floral and geometric designs executed in shades of red, blue, and off-white. The medallion's design is balanced and resembles a blooming flower with smaller floral motifs radiating outwards.

The primary color of this rug is a deep, rich red, while the secondary colors include various shades of blue, light blue, pink, white, and off-white. These hues are skillfully distributed throughout the medallion, borders, and other floral patterns to create a visually appealing composition.

The rug's borders add further intricacy to its design. The outer border, which is red, features a continuous floral and vine motif in alternating colors of blue, white, and pink. Inside, multiple inner borders present a mix of geometric and floral designs in nuanced colors, including navy blue, light blue, pink, and white. Each inner border is characterized by different patterns, adding layers of detail that enhance the overall complexity and visual interest of the rug.

The density of the pattern is high, with a repeating motif filling the rug's field, leaving minimal empty space. The thoroughness of the design, combined with the durability and traditional craftsmanship, marks this rug as a distinguished piece reflective of Bijar's weaving heritage.
