About the Item

Exquisite Antique Persian Kurdish Bijar Halvayi Carpet - A Timeless Work of Art Step into a world of captivating beauty with this absolutely stunning antique Persian Kurdish Bijar Halvayi carpet, dating back to the 1920s. Measuring a graceful 7'6" x 9'5", this masterpiece boasts a wool foundation and features a mesmerizing geometric pattern reminiscent of a lush forest of trees, including the graceful willow and majestic cypress, woven in a Tree of Life design. The carpet is adorned with Abrash and vibrant vegetable dyes in enchanting shades of red, gold, and green, creating a visual symphony that elevates any space. The craftsmanship of this Bijar Halvayi carpet is truly exceptional, showcasing not only the skill of the weaver but also the rich history embedded in each intricate detail. The condition of this remarkable piece is remarkably good, a testament to the enduring quality of its construction and the meticulous care it has received over the years. Bidjar, the namesake of a quaint Kurdish town in western Iran, is renowned for producing what are often referred to as the "Iron Rugs of Iran." The Bijar rugs, in particular, have gained popularity in the United States for their heavy, durable nature. Over time, the Bijar rug has evolved into a finer, thinner, and more Sarouk-like rendition, capturing the essence of elegance and sophistication. It is worth noting that most Bijar Kurdish carpets are expertly woven by Gerrus Kurds in the Bijar area. Additionally, a refined variation of Bijar carpets is crafted by skilled Afshar weavers residing in the Tekab and Tekkenteppe Area in Gerus, showcasing the diversity of artistic expression within this rich tapestry of Iranian weaving traditions. Owning this Persian Kurdish Bijar Halvayi carpet is not just acquiring a piece of decor; it is embracing a piece of history, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Kurdish weavers. With its timeless design, impeccable condition, and vibrant colors, this antique carpet invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty of a bygone era while adding a touch of sophistication to your living space.
