The Persian Bijar rug, crafted around 1920, originates from the mountain villages of the Kurdistan region in Western Persia. Known for its robust construction and durability, this tribal-style rug highlights the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of the Kurdish people.
The rug's design showcases a traditional Bijar pattern, with a primary background color of deep navy. The central field of the rug features intricate, densely-packed floral and botanical motifs rendered in various shades of blue, red, ivory, and lighter touches of green. These patterns include continuous flowers, vines, and paisley-like shapes, creating a balanced, symmetrical design across the length and width of the rug. Notably absent is a distinct central medallion, with the pattern uniformly distributed instead.
The border of this rug is marked by a striking red color, complementing the central field. It features a broad primary border that contains repeating floral motifs and geometric figures, offering a rich frame to the central patterns. Flanking this primary border are narrower inner and outer guard borders, which add further detail with smaller geometric and floral designs.
Constructed with wool on a cotton foundation, this Bijar rug uses a double-wefted weaving technique, enhancing its texture and resilience. Produced during the early 20th century, this rug exemplifies the robust and intricate craftsmanship typical of Bijar carpets, making it a significant piece of Persian weaving tradition.
