1920's Persian Halvai Guli Farang Bijar Carpet with Traditional Style
About the Item
70551 Antique Persian Halvai Guli Farang Bijar Rug, 06’07 x 09’01. This exquisite hand-knotted wool Persian Guli Farang Bijar rug is a resplendent example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, likely woven in the famed Halvai workshops of Bijar. With its rich botanical theme and remarkable knot density, this rug transcends mere utility to become a true work of woven art. The Guli Farang—or “Foreign Flower” design, introduced in the late 19th century, drew inspiration from European garden aesthetics while remaining firmly rooted in Persian textile tradition. The result is a lavish floral tableau, marrying the charm of English rose gardens with the enduring strength and precision of Bijar weaving.
The Bijar rug's field is an opulent garden of stylized roses, peonies, and cabbage-like blossoms, each outlined in gold and set against a deeply saturated midnight ground. These florals burst forth in crimson, emerald, and saffron tones, their rhythmic repetition evoking the grandeur of a formal walled garden. The layered palette, composed of natural vegetable dyes, lends each motif a sense of movement and dimensionality. The painterly quality of the design speaks to the mastery of its weavers, whose hands skillfully rendered every bloom with exceptional clarity and life.
Framing this lush tableau is a succession of richly adorned borders, beginning with a golden beige guard band filled with rosettes and pomegranate blossoms, symbols of abundance and fertility. The primary border, woven in a blue-charcoal, is adorned with larger floral rosettes and scrolling vine work, echoing the vitality of the inner field. This architectural framing enhances the rug's harmony and structure while celebrating the perpetual bloom of nature. Even the reverse side reveals a tight and meticulously knotted foundation, hallmarks of the revered Halvai Bijar technique.
Beyond its decorative brilliance, this rug is a historical artifact, a celebration of the cultural exchange between East and West at the dawn of modernity. Its refined execution and romantic motifs make it especially suited for interiors that seek a blend of elegance, warmth, and worldliness. Whether displayed in a salon, grand foyer, or gallery-like space, this Guli Farang Bijar rug offers not just beauty underfoot, but a narrative of heritage, artistry, and timeless botanical splendor.

1920's Signed Persian Kermanshah Carpet with Traditional Style
Located in Dallas, TX
78759 Signed Antique Persian Kermanshah Rug, 09'08 x 11'02. Signed Persian Kermanshah rugs are Persian carpets bearing the signature or mark of the weaver, serving as an authentication of craftsmanship and providing insight into the rug's origins. Persian Kermanshah rugs are traditional handwoven rugs originating from the Kermanshah province in Iran, known for their intricate designs, fine craftsmanship, and high-quality materials like wool or silk. Featuring elaborate floral motifs, geometric patterns, and vibrant colors such as red, blue, green, and ivory, these rugs are crafted using techniques like the asymmetrical Persian knot to create detailed designs. The signatures, often woven into the rug's border or design, symbolize authenticity and craftsmanship, making signed Persian Kermanshah rugs highly coveted by collectors for their historical significance and artisanal excellence.
In this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Kermanshah rug, a harmonious blend of neoclassical elegance and romantic Rococo motifs creates a captivating visual tableau. At its heart lies a cusped medallion, exquisitely adorned with a floral cross motif and anchored by palmette heart pendants at each end. The intricately designed medallion serves as the focal point, radiating timeless charm and sophistication against the neutral beige backdrop.
The rug's allover pattern, reminiscent of romantic Rococo aesthetics, features a symphony of blooming palmettes, lotus blossoms, rosettes, acanthus scrolls, and stylized florals and foliage. Each element intertwines gracefully across the surface, weaving a narrative of opulence and refinement. Completing the composition is an ornate floral border, complemented by floral meander guard borders, which enclose the design with lush intricacy, adding depth and dimension to this formal masterpiece.
