Originating from the Bidjar provenance, this piece is a profound exemplar of Kurdish weaving, renowned for its saturated dyes and bold, protective geometric motifs, making it a powerful and historic addition to the Rug & Kilim collection.

On the Design:

Specifically a Bidjar Jajim (often woven in joined panels), this rug is a vibrant narrative, a woven transcript of tribal history and symbolic language, brought to life through the dense, flatweave technique.

Rooted in the traditions of the Bidjar region, the structure is defined by a bold, central vertical column, which anchors the powerful field motifs.

The field is a dramatic mosaic, celebrating a masterfully saturated palette of deep madder red, midnight navy, earthy olive green, and warm rust.

Across this vibrant ground, large, powerful diamond motifs (often known as göls or medallions) stand out in creamy ivory and dark blue.

These geometric shapes are not merely decorative; they are symbolic talismans, representing the weaver's intention for protection and prosperity.

The meticulous play of rich, juxtaposed color and bold, ancient geometry gives the piece a captivating visual pulse and a profound sense of cultural depth.

Condition:

This mid-century Persian Kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. See less
