Bijar / 10948

A Bijar in wool, this antique rug measures 251 x 351 cm and bears a softly faded, disciplined geometry. A prominent elongated medallion sits within a dense field of small floral repeats while layered floral guard borders contain the composition. The colour range moves through warm neutral, brown and red with gentle abrash across the ground. Medium wear has mellowed the pile and softened the edges, giving the surface a patina-rich tactility that underlines its heritage craft. Circa 1900 - 1915, the rug reads as a studied example of traditional weaving, valued for its texture and compositional restraint.
