About the Item

60891 Antique Navy Blue Persian Bijar Rug, 04'02 x 07'03. Persian Bijar rugs, often referred to as the "Iron Rugs of Persia," are renowned for their exceptional durability and robustness. Originating from the town of Bijar (or Bidjar) in western Iran, these handcrafted rugs are celebrated for their dense pile and tightly compressed weaving technique, which results in a rug that can withstand heavy foot traffic without compromising its beauty. Bijar rugs are typically characterized by intricate designs, often featuring geometric motifs, floral patterns, and medallion designs woven with vibrant colors. Skilled Kurdish artisans, who have honed their craft over generations, meticulously weave each rug using traditional techniques passed down through the ages. Despite their Iranian roots, Persian Bijar rugs have gained international acclaim and adorn homes worldwide with their enduring quality and timeless elegance. In the realm of antique treasures, this hand-knotted wool Persian Bijar rug stands as a mesmerizing ode to Victorian elegance. Enveloped in a rich navy blue field, it blooms with the intricate allure of an all-over Herati pattern, reminiscent of a secret garden unfolding its beauty under the veil of midnight. Encircling this enchanting tableau is a botanical border, adorned with delicate motifs that weave a tale of timeless grace and refinement. Within this border, an inner and outer floral meander guard border adds layers of intricate detail, enhancing the rug's beguiling allure. Throughout the expanse of this Bijar rug, the Classic Herati design reigns supreme, paying homage to one of Persian artistry's most enduring motifs. Known also as the Mahi or Fish pattern, it captures the imagination with its captivating portrayal of nature's beauty. At its heart lies a mesmerizing flower, nestled within a diamond-shaped frame, surrounded by gracefully curving lanceolate leaves that evoke the graceful movement of fish swimming beneath the moon's ethereal glow. In the cultural history of Iran, the Herati motif holds profound significance, symbolizing the delicate dance of life beneath the tranquil surface of the water, a timeless symbol of harmony and beauty. Within the intricate weave of this Bijar rug lies a story of unparalleled craftsmanship and enduring elegance. Its rich colors and captivating motifs transport the viewer to a bygone era, where Victorian opulence and Persian artistry intertwine in a harmonious dance of beauty and grace. As the moonlight casts its enchanting glow upon the rug's surface, it whispers tales of a bygone era, inviting all who behold it to lose themselves in its beguiling charm and timeless allure.
