Bijar / 10106

An antique Bijar in wool, the composition centres on a pronounced central medallion within a scrolling floral field and layered guard borders. The colourway reads as neutral, brown, cream and white, mellowed by medium wear and visible abrash that emphasises the rug’s tactile surface. Patterns remain architecturally measured even as abrasion softens edges and motifs, revealing an object shaped by time and hand. The wool fibre holds a quiet resilience; the overall surface shows selective fading and softened pile across the field. Measurements: 340 x 569 cm. Circa 1900 - 1920 This antique rug retains a considered, tactile character.
