This Persian Bijar rug, crafted around 1925, embodies a rich tribal style typical of its Kurdish roots. Originating from the mountain villages of Western Persia's Kurdistan region, Bijar carpets are celebrated for their sturdy construction and traditional design elements that reflect Kurdish cultural heritage.

The rug’s central field is dominated by a cherry red background, adorned with densely packed floral and geometric motifs. Medallion shapes repeat symmetrically, each containing intricate floral patterns. The primary color palette is rich and vibrant, featuring a dominant red, accompanied by dark blue, yellow, green, and occasional white accents within the motifs.

Framing the central field, the rug boasts a series of borders. The innermost border is a narrow band with simple patterns, likely in dark blue and red. This is followed by a wider border with elaborate floral designs in dark blue, creating a striking contrast against the central field. The outermost border mirrors the second in complexity and design, also in dark blue.

Constructed with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this Bijar rug showcases double-wefted weaving techniques, contributing to its renowned durability and strength. The double-weft technique is a hallmark of Bijar carpets, offering a texture and resilience that distinguish these rugs from others in the region.

In this specific piece, the combination of cherry red, deep navy borders, and traditional motifs not only reflects the aesthetic preferences of the period but also highlights the craftsmanship and artistic traditions of the Kurdish people in the early 20th century.
