Antique Bibikabad Small Scatter Size Wool Blue Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This early 20th-century piece exemplifies the robust, highly detailed weaving style characteristic of the Hamadan region. It is a testament to the enduring quality of Persian weaving traditions from this period.

The field is dominated by a rich, almost black deep blue ground, which provides a striking contrast to the elaborate terracotta and ivory elements within the central diamond medallion. The overall design features a highly dense floral pattern, where stylized blossoms and vines fill every available space, creating a mesmerizing visual texture typical of village workshop production.

A powerful, elongated lozenge medallion anchors the composition, framed by complementary spandrels that echo the main color scheme of rust, gold, and indigo. The hand-spun wool pile remains supple, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship inherent in all fine antique rugs of this provenance.

Perfectly scaled as a small scatter size, this Bibikabad offers exceptional versatility for use in hallways, entryways, or beside a bed. Its complex geometry and saturated, natural dyes ensure it functions not merely as floor covering, but as a deeply textural piece of textile art. See less
