On the Design: The elegant European influence in this rare antique Bidjar rug’s design is most prevalent in the drawing of the field pattern, though the underlying geometry offers a classic Persian grandeur in its stylistic play of the more wimsied hues against a comfortable beige-brown and blue colorway marriage. The synthesis of the regal pattern, intriguing colorway pagination, and excellent drawing for this scale lends an iconic, cultured air to this one-of-a-kind Bidjar rug—further boasting good condition and dimensions well suited to main dining rooms, main living rooms, and similar grand projects welcoming a near-palace-size rug.
