About the Item

79226 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Bijar Rug, 03'10 x 04'07. A one-of-a-kind relic of Persian textile grandeur, this hand-knotted wool antique Bijar rug fragment from the late 19th century evokes the timeless elegance and indomitable artistry of Iran’s royal weaving heritage. Revered as the “Iron Rugs of Persia” for their unparalleled craftsmanship, impeccable density and structural integrity, Bijar carpets and wagireh were prized for both their fortitude and their finesse—qualities palpably evident in this exquisite fragment. The richly saturated red field serves as a sumptuous backdrop for a mesmerizing allover composition of Herati motifs, an enduring symbol of Persian aesthetic mastery, where diamond rosettes encircle flowering fronds in perpetual symmetry. At the top left, a navy blue corner spandrel disrupts the chromatic rhythm with dignified grace, echoing the signature Herati motif in a deeper register and lending the composition a dynamic visual cadence. The refined balance between the crimson core and inky corner is a testament to the exclusive Bijar workshop’s deep understanding of spatial choreography and color theory. Each Herati element, rendered with lyrical restraint, contributes to a field that feels both meticulously controlled and organically fluid—a delicate dance between repetition and spontaneity. This magnificent work of art is elegantly framed by a creamy ivory botanical meander border, whose stylized scrolling vines and petals bloom with gentle exuberance, encapsulating the central field in a garland of botanical luxury. This is flanked by a handsome inner guard band on a deep blue ground, studded with rhythmic rosettes that serve as a refined prelude to the main floral overture. Along the uppermost edge, an outer Samovar turtle vine scroll border in a regal shade of oxblood red bestows a final flourish—a rare and sophisticated element referencing ancient Persian talismanic motifs said to evoke protection and abundance. Though a fragment, this Persian Bijar wagireh masterpiece endures as a collector’s jewel—an heirloom of exceptional provenance and refined narrative. It conjures the grandeur of 19th-century Persian courts, where opulence and symbolism wove seamlessly together under the stewardship of master weavers. Whether mounted as a textile tableau or integrated into a curated interior, this precious cultural artifact fragment invites the viewer into a dialogue between history, design, and the eternal elegance of Persian artisanship.
