The antique rug originates from the Bijar region of Western Persia's Kurdistan, dating back to circa 1910. It features typical Bijar design elements and is woven in the tribal style, reflecting the robust traditions of Kurdish artistic expression. Specifically crafted with wool on wool, this rug is known for its durability and exceptional weaving techniques.

The main background of the rug is a deep, rich red, accented by a navy border. The patterns on this rug are dense and repeated, consisting mainly of a combination of floral and geometric motifs. Predominant motifs include rosettes, stylized flowers, and leaves, which are symmetrically arranged across the rug’s field. The colors used within the motifs include vibrant shades of blue, mustard yellow, white, and various tones of red and orange. These hues contrast effectively against the red background, highlighting the intricate designs.

The main border of the rug encompasses multiple layers, each containing intricate designs. The largest layer features a repeating floral pattern with alternating colors, while the inner and outer borders are smaller and showcase simpler geometric and floral designs. The border colors complement the central field yet are slightly more subdued, utilizing more blues and creams to achieve a cohesive look.

This Bijar rug is constructed with double-wefting, a characteristic technique that enhances its strength and resilience. The dense, double-layered weave contributes to the rug's texture and overall durability. Such technical quality is characteristic of Bijar carpets, making them highly esteemed for their robust construction.

Reflecting the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the Kurdish people, this rug embodies the everyday life and craftsmanship inherent to the region. Bijar rugs are recognized for their unique design independence and expressive nature, making this antique piece a significant artifact of Kurdish weaving tradition.
