About the Item
The description you provided details an impressive and collectible antique Persian Bijar Halwai carpet. Here's a summary of the key features and characteristics mentioned:
Size: The carpet measures 9 feet 2 inches in width by 12 feet 10 inches in length, making it a substantial and room-sized piece.
Design: The carpet features an all-over Herati design, a classic and intricate pattern widely used in Persian rugs. The Herati motif often symbolizes fish swimming beneath the surface of water in the moonlight.
Colors: The color palette of the carpet includes variegated shades of red, navy blue, sky blue, blush, beige, and ivory. These colors are carefully chosen to create a harmonious and visually appealing composition.
Age: This antique Bijar Halwai carpet dates back to the late 19th century, specifically from the 1880s. It reflects the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of that era.
Origin: The carpet originates from the village of Halwai, which is located in the north-eastern region of Bijar in Iran (Persia). Bijar is renowned for producing high-quality and durable rugs, often referred to as the "Iron rugs of Persia."
Quality: Bijar rugs, including this one, are known for their exceptional quality and durability. They are characterized by their dense and strong pile, typically woven with a high knot count. This particular carpet is noted for its soft and durable wool due to its higher knot count.
Symbolism: Persian rugs often incorporate symbolism, and in this case, the Herati motif carries cultural significance, representing fish in moonlight reflection. This adds depth and meaning to the carpet's design.
Condition: The carpet is described as being in very good condition and has been professionally cleaned. Well-preserved antique rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
Collector's Piece: The description emphasizes that this antique Bijar Halwai carpet is a collector's piece, highlighting its historical and cultural significance within Persian rug weaving traditions.
Artistry: The carpet is lauded for its exquisite details, including ornate finials and a finely detailed all-over pattern, showcasing the craftsmanship of the weaver.
Overall, this antique Persian Bijar Halwai carpet appears to be a remarkable piece with a rich history, intricate design, and exceptional quality. It would likely be a valuable addition to any collection or a striking centerpiece for a well-appointed space. When acquiring such an antique rug, it's essential to work with reputable dealers who can provide authentication and historical context.

Antique Fine Bijar Carpet

Repeating covered field in a phenomenal range of color botehs in staggered rows in alternating direction. Very unusual and unique dynamic for type and age! Colors and shades include: Navy blue, ivory, madder root red, cochineal red, sapphire blue, coffee brown, dusty pale saffron yellow, antique ivory, and more. Condition notes: Even wear across to knot heads with faint foundation showing through. Most of the original side cord selvages are intact or restored. Fully secured sides and ends. Couple of small blemishes on the reverse side which does not translate to anything of significance, likely remnants of an old pad. Minor loss to one end and some oxidation to the darker shades which has contributed to slight recess of the pile. Recently professionally cleaned ready for in-home use! Many years of enjoyment to come with this hand knotted Persian Bijar carpet...
