Originating from the Bidjar provenance, this piece is a profound exemplar of the Jajim style, celebrated for its intense color saturation and bold, rhythmic stripe pattern, making it a vibrant and compelling addition to the Rug & Kilim collection.

On the Design:

This rug is a vivid canvas of motion and color, a woven transcription of the boundless energy found in nomadic and tribal art.

The design is a declaration of pure linearity, executed in the Jajim flatweave technique which is often characterized by its dynamic striped field.

The palette is a celebration of masterfully saturated, contrasting hues, favoring deep madder reds, electric magenta-pinks, rich hunter greens, and vibrant sunset oranges, all tempered by grounding bands of creamy ivory and dark brown.

The rhythm of the colors—with thick, dominant bands interspersed with razor-thin accent lines—creates a captivating visual pulse and sense of movement across the flat surface.

This bold, graphic simplicity, rooted in the traditions of the Bidjar region, offers a striking, modern sensibility that feels both historically profound and effortlessly contemporary.

Condition:

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