Bijar / 21648

This Bijar antique rug measures 99 x 846 cm and unfolds in a long, narrow format with a refined sense of balance. The wool surface combines a cream ground with layered floral ornament, framed by a red border punctuated by rosettes and small geometric blossoms. Red, white, cream, and softened accent tones create a palette that feels both animated and restrained. Circa 1900 - 1930, it shows the composure and decorative density long associated with Bijar rugs, with low distress and a gentle patina that temper the design without diminishing its definition.
