About the Item

79080 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Halvai Bijar Rug, 07'06 x 11'10. This hand-knotted wool antique Halvai Bijar rug, crafted in the late 19th century, exemplifies the finest weaving traditions of the Bijar region. Revered for their durability and artistry, Halvai Bijar rugs are celebrated as the epitome of Persian craftsmanship. The luminous red field of this Persian masterpiece serves as a stunning canvas, showcasing an intricate interplay of cultural symbolism and timeless design elements. Its exquisite detail and vibrant palette elevate it beyond mere functionality, transforming it into a woven masterpiece. At the heart of the rug lies an indigo cusped central medallion adorned with an array of floral motifs, each imbued with deep cultural meaning. Peonies, symbolizing power, lotus blossoms for immortality and rebirth, rosettes, and tulips representing prosperity are meticulously arranged within the medallion. Pink contours and green organic shapes create a dynamic juxtaposition, highlighting the medallion's complexity. Outlined by a solid red band and angular beige frondescence, the medallion is further anchored by royal blue trefoil pendants at either end, adding balance and drawing the eye to its magnificent center. The corner spandrels radiate with intricate Herati motifs, a hallmark of Persian artistry, which lend their geometric elegance to the composition. The Herati motif is deeply symbolic, with its stylized flower nestled within a diamond and flanked by graceful, curved leaves, brings an ethereal quality to this Halvai Bijar carpet. As you gaze upon this woven wonder, it feels as though you are peering into a midnight garden, with the motifs representing fish swimming just beneath the water’s surface, reflecting the gentle light of the full moon. Their intricate execution within the spandrels, paired with the open red field, emphasizes the harmonious contrast of bold simplicity and detailed artistry that defines this rug. The visual rhythm of these motifs enriches the overall design, offering a feast for the eyes. Framing this masterpiece is a classic turtle vine scroll border, symbolizing longevity and continuity, flanked by carnation meander guard bands. These borders not only provide a protective enclosure but also add layers of decorative richness. Subsidiary borders, including boteh motifs, sawtooth designs, and floral meanders, contribute to the lush frame, ensuring a cohesive balance between the central field and its surroundings. The synergy of colors—royal blue, ivory, and lively red—creates a regal ambiance that underscores the rug’s refined aesthetic. This antique Halvai Bijar rug is more than a decorative piece; it is a testament to the artistic legacy of Persian weaving. Ideal for grand spaces, it brings an air of sophistication and cultural heritage to nearly any interior. Its luxurious wool pile and unparalleled craftsmanship make it a collector’s dream, embodying both the spirit and splendor of 19th-century Persian artistry. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran.
