This antique Persian rug originates from the Bijar region, known for its durable and intricately designed tribal-style rugs. The rug dates back to circa 1920 and features a camel-colored background with a navy border. The primary color throughout the rug is beige, creating a harmonious blend of warm earth tones. Crafted from wool on cotton, this rug showcases the traditional and robust construction typical of Bijar rugs.
Bijar rugs, from the mountain villages of Western Persia’s Kurdistan region, are recognized for preserving their identity and originality throughout history. Known for their exceptional technical quality, Bijar rugs are sturdy and highly durable. The designs are predominantly influenced by traditional Kurdish geometric styles, although some may feature floral motifs. Common design elements include the Herati pattern and nature-inspired themes such as continuous flowers and vines. Occasionally, boteh designs are also integrated, highlighting a blend of abstract and representational art. The double-wefted weaving technique employed in these rugs enhances their durability and resilience.
Artistically, the present rug features a highly detailed and densely packed floral and botanical pattern. The overall design includes an abundance of symmetrical repeating flowers, leaves, and vines, creating an elaborate and luxurious appearance. The primary colors in the rug are warm earth tones, with prominent reds, blues, greens, and beiges. The central field displays a golden beige tone, while the motifs are highlighted in rich reds, deep blues, and greens.
The rug is framed by multiple borders, with the widest border primarily in navy blue featuring a repeating floral pattern in red, pink, green, and beige. Inside this outer border, a narrower border with intricate designs mirrors the floral and vine motifs, exhibiting a higher concentration of red and blue colors. The symmetrical arrangement of the floral motifs and vines along both vertical and horizontal axes contributes to the rug's balanced appearance.
This particular rug lacks a distinct central medallion, opting instead for a continuous pattern throughout the central field, drawing attention across the entire surface. This design approach is characteristic of Bijar rugs, reflecting the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the Kurdish people.
