The floral motifs are delicately rendered in shades of pink, ivory, red, baby blue, and green, creating a rich and harmonious composition of exceptional charm.

The navy blue primary border provides an elegant frame, adorned with stylized blossoms in complementary hues of red, pink, and baby blue. Renowned for their exceptional durability and dense construction, Bidjar rugs are often referred to as 'The Iron Rugs of Persia' — woven by Kurdish village artisans in Northwest Persia using a unique compressed-weave technique that produces extraordinary density and weight. This early 20th century example exemplifies that reputation with its high knot count, robust weave, and timeless Golfarang design.
