Woven by the skilled Kurdish artisans in the Bidjar region of Western Persia, renowned for their exceptionally dense and resilient "iron-like" weaves, this rug is a testament to enduring craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
This remarkable Bidjar features an enchanting all-over small flower form pattern, a delightful variation of the classic paisley motif, gracefully scattered across its field. The field itself boasts a rich abrash navy blue, showcasing beautiful, organic tonal variations that add immense depth and character, indicative of traditional dyeing methods and the rug's authentic age.
The sophisticated color palette includes vibrant accents of saffron yellow, verdant green, various shades of blue, creamy ivory, warm brown, and pops of vivid orange, all harmoniously woven to create a visually dynamic composition. The design is elegantly framed by an abrash blue/green border, which perfectly complements the field and completes the rug's cohesive aesthetic.
