This Persian rug, featuring a traditional Bijar design, originates from the Kurdistan region in Western Persia and dates to circa 1880. The rug is constructed with wool on a cotton foundation, a common practice in antique Persian rug weaving, ensuring its durability and longevity.
The background of this particular rug is a deep navy blue, which highlights the intricate design details. The border is a contrasting brick color, framing the central pattern and adding a distinctive elegance to the overall composition. The main color throughout the rug is a rich blue, which is complemented by accents of beige, orange, and red tones.
Characteristic of Bijar rugs, the design reflects traditional Kurdish geometric patterns interspersed with floral motifs. The typical Herati pattern, along with continuous flowers and vines, dominates the design. This rug does not feature a single, large central medallion but rather a series of smaller, connected shapes, including star-like and floral motifs, creating a harmonious and continuous pattern throughout.
The borders of the rug are intricately detailed, with multiple frames surrounding the main field. The innermost border is a thin, dark band that delineates the central design. The middle border features a repeating floral motif in beige and orange against a lighter background, while the outermost border is the widest, showcasing intricate patterns similar to the middle border but with a variation in colors, including light blues, reds, and creams.
The symmetry of this rug is highly precise, with motifs evenly distributed and repeated in an orderly manner, producing a balanced visual effect. The density of the pattern is high, indicating a rich and detailed weave, common in Bijar carpets known for their robust construction and ability to withstand heavy use while maintaining their aesthetic integrity.
This antique Bijar rug not only exemplifies the technical and artistic qualities of Persian rug weaving but also reflects the cultural significance and craftsmanship of the Kurdish people, making it a noteworthy piece from the late 19th century.
