Antique Bijar Persian Blue 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional Persian Bijar exemplifies the "Iron Rugs of Persia" tradition, renowned for their robust construction and dense pile. Dating from the early 20th century, this piece is a magnificent example of antique rugs that define the regional weaving aesthetic of Western Persia.

The commanding field is rendered in a saturated indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the riotous palette of secondary colors, including vibrant coral, soft sky blue, and moss green. The masterful use of deep indigo establishes this as a premier example within our collection of blue color rugs, offering a depth of tone that has matured beautifully over more than a century.

Unlike centralized medallion designs, this Bijar features a highly detailed, repeating geometric and stylized floral pattern that functions as an allover design. This dense arrangement of stylized herati and boteh motifs ensures visual interest across the entire expanse of the carpet, reflecting the sophisticated complexity favored by Kurdish weavers.

Framed by multiple, intricately woven guard borders featuring stylized vine scrolls and palmettes in complementary shades of salmon and light blue, the overall scale of the piece suggests its original use as a grand room size rug. This durable, century-old textile offers both historical significance and unparalleled decorative presence for a discerning interior. See less
