Vintage Persian Bijar Rug
About the Item
78958 Vintage Persian Bijar Rug, 02'08 x 04'06. This exquisite hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Bijar rug exemplifies the timeless allure and robust artistry characteristic of Bijar weavings, often hailed as the “Iron Rugs of Persia” for their exceptional durability and dense construction. Crafted with meticulous care, the Bijar rug features a rich, deep red field that serves as a vivid canvas for the traditional Persian designs intricately woven into its texture. The central diamond medallion, a classic element in Persian rugs, is beautifully detailed with intricate Herati motifs. Each Herati motif consists of a stylized flower at the center of a diamond, flanked by gracefully curved leaves. These motifs are believed to represent fish swimming beneath the water's surface in the glow of a full moon, infusing the rug with a layer of mystical allure and cultural significance.
Surrounding the central medallion, the field is densely covered with an allover pattern of Herati motifs, meticulously arranged to create a harmonious interplay of colors and shapes. The precision of the weave and the clarity of the design demonstrate the skill of the Bijar weavers, who are renowned for their ability to produce rugs of substantial body and weight, yet with fine artistic detail. The vibrant red background of the field enhances the vibrancy of the ivory and lighter blue motifs, making them pop visually and giving the Bijar rug a dynamic, engaging appearance.
The ornamental borders of the rug are equally magnificent, featuring a primary border flanked by narrower carnation meander guard bands. The main border showcases a repeat pattern of intricate florals and serrated leaves, executed in shades that complement the field. This traditional border design not only frames the central composition but also echoes its complexity and thematic richness. The border’s tight patterns are a testament to the weavers’ expertise in balancing scale and detail, ensuring that every element contributes to a cohesive aesthetic narrative.
This vintage Persian Bijar rug is not just a floor covering but a piece of woven history, ideal for adding warmth and elegance to any space. Its robust construction makes it well-suited for high-traffic areas, while its artistry transforms it into a centerpiece worthy of admiration. Whether placed in a grand foyer, small home office or reading nook, this woven wonder brings with it a breath of Persian heritage, offering both visual splendor and a tangible connection to the rich traditions of Persian rug making.
