Vintage Persian Bijar Rug, Sofreh Aghd Wedding Runner
About the Item
78959 Vintage Persian Bijar Rug Runner, 01'11 x 07'11. This hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Bijar rug runner is a captivating example of traditional Persian craftsmanship, filled with cultural richness and timeless artistry. Known as the “Iron Rug of Persia,” Bijar rugs are famed for their durability and tightly packed knots, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. The dark navy blue field of this Bijar carpet runner is adorned with a highly stylized pattern of repeating Herati motifs. These motifs, consisting of a central rosette flanked by fish or leaf-like designs, symbolize life, water, and abundance—core elements of Persian symbolism that highlight the deep connection between nature and human experience.
At the heart of the rug's design are a series of stepped hexagonal medallions, each filled with delicate arrangements of sugar swans surrounded by lush pink roses. These medallions are seamlessly integrated into the field, creating a sense of balance and harmony while adding a layer of romantic symbolism. Sugar swans are traditionally associated with wedding rituals, strongly suggest this Persian Bijar rug may have been specially commissioned for a wedding, either as part of the Sofreh Aghd setup or as a gift for the couple. The sky blue corner spandrels echo the pink roses from within the medallions and beautifully outlined with an acanthus swag, adding a decorative touch that enhances the elegance of the medallions and makes them a focal point of the design.
Framing the central field is a stunning floral meander border that delicately traces the edges of the rug. This enchanting border is flanked by an inner and outer sawtooth guard band, adding structure to the overall composition. The guard bands are a traditional motif in Persian rug weaving, often symbolizing protection and strength, which pairs well with the symbolism of the swans and roses within the medallions. The rich red, ivory, and navy palette of the borders contrasts with the softer tones of the central field, making the design visually dynamic and yet harmonious.
Whether displayed in a stately hallway or used to welcome guests in a grand foyer, this Persian Bijar runner radiates an air of elegance, history, and cultural significance. The meticulous knotting, paired with its meaningful motifs, makes this woven wonder a treasure of Persian art. Its luxurious wool pile and intricate details are not only a testament to the Bijar weavers' skill but also carry the legacy of Persian traditions, offering both beauty and a story for generations to come.
