Turn-of-the-century Beyond Palatial Garrus Bidjar Rug Piece
About the Item
One of One - Turn of the Century Palatial Masterpiece Palace Size Blooming Jungle Root & Vine Design
About: You Will Get Lost Inside of this Amazon Jungle. One of the most famous and most sought-after designs EVER woven, this piece has stolen the hearts of Art collectors and Rug Enthusiasts for centuries. To see one in person is special, as they come with their native characteristics as the weaver's merit is poured into every knot both blatantly and subtly. What makes this particular piece enter the next level is its sheer size. 13 x 21?! Who? Where? What? When? How? and Why?! It is a very special piece, to say the least, and to attempt to make sense of it will only make you dizzy. What I will say, is that it was without a doubt commissioned and woven most likely for a very powerful diplomat, a very wealthy aristocrat family, possibly woven for an important European governing building or commercial lobby, and/or commission by a designer for a private client overseas. I have got to say, there is something about the rich organic dyes used in this village that are able to somehow soak up every single morsel of wool fiber that is hand-sheered, sorted, dyed, spun, dried, then woven. Each color looks like 10 shades of the same color; that is due to the quality of dye with the quality of wool. Organic and all-natural wool with rich and glossy lanolin makes a 3-Dimensional piece of wool look 4-Dimensional! The rich saffron and sunflower hues, mixed with an earthy honey note adds optimism in this infinitely rich piece. The heavenly greens add a friendly sentiment to the moody and almost midnight blackish blues that span throughout every square inch. The blue-greens, ice blues, deep madder root, French and Peacock blues are among some of the most vivid examples we will see of these hues - and the perfect use of antique beige and sunflower give the subconscious mind a "water break" as we dive right back into the relentless adventure this field has for us. Looking at this carpet it takes me back to my time on a small canoe in the nighttime with my tour guide and two best friends navigating the Erie creeks in the Amazon jungle. We weren't on the large Amazon River itself, but lurking through the medium shallow waters and seeing the deep red marble eyes of the caymans, the deepest jungle greens decorating the earthy browns of the trees, and of course, the blues as the sun started to fall it illuminated some of the blues with its yellows and oranges and it created a stark contrast with the water that at that point looked like oil. Every color had a depth to it and every one of my senses was as alert as they ever have been. This is how I feel when I'm standing on top of this carpet looking into the soul of this living and breathing art - it is as alive as the jungles of the Amazon. But, of course, in true artisan form, they have surrounded this gorgeous jungle with the most arabesque and artful roots and swirling tails. Each motif looks like cousins of the next, woven with no template and no blueprint - just imagination and spontaneity. Even the guard borders outlined in antique beige to add an airy element works so nice dueling as providing contrast as well as a transition from the field to the main border. Beautiful flowing vines add movement to an already agile piece. The frame is substantial enough to contain such energy in the field and does an incredible job to allow our eyes to exit the rug on top of the floor. For clients and/or designers that are placing this piece in a space with furniture - finally, you have a substantial enough piece that won't be swallowed up by the larger pieces of furniture - nor will it feel timid or insecure in a large room with vaulted ceilings or large vantage points across the room in open floor plans. This piece is true art laying on the floor and elevating anything on it and everything around it to reach their fullest potential of beauty; it will elevate the leathers, woods, metals, marble, linens, softer fabrics, hanging art, and any other item, object, or decorative finishing or fabric/texture around. Make absolutely no mistake - with just the addition of this piece in your space you've genuinely just entered a completely different universe and you will never look at rugs, art, or design the same way again - welcome to the splendor of antique carpets.

Naive Halvi Bidjar Rug, Late 1800's
Located in Milwaukee, WI
Naive Halvi Bijar Mystical Energy-Filled Art from the Spiritually Connected Weavers
About: One of my All-time favorite pieces ever - for the rug nerds, collectors, and lovers out there - you know there is something mystical and special about the true wool-on-wool bidjars woven by some of the most resilient and creative weavers of all time. Not only the people, but the rugs themselves are so nomadic given that their materials are organic wool pile and foundation along with the most vivid and natural dyes. Insanely unique variations of pale blues that shift a tad darker or light and then to a blue-green with pops of sunflower yellows and nice rich yet mature reds. The size alone puts this into the turn of the century category, and then the naive deconstructed Water Garden, or Herati, design seems to keep the eyes guessing and the soul happy. You can tell this piece was woven from pure imagination with no template or planning - just sitting down and weaving a magical textile that most likely took 6-12 months and possibly alongside family creating this divine and energy-filled beauty together! This is the epitome and splendor of antique rugs and old-world village art!!
