Late 19th Century Persian Bijar Carpet ( 7'10" x 12' - 238 x 365 )
Antique Bijar Persian Coral 1880s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of weaving artistry hails from the Kurdish region, showcasing the dense, robust construction characteristic of the finest Iranian / Persian rugs. The Bijar weavers were renowned for their heavy, durable foundation, earning them the nickname "the iron rugs of Persia."
The striking field is dominated by a rich, saturated coral hue, a highly sought-after shade that provides both warmth and sophistication. This deep, earthy tone is beautifully complemented by the dark indigo and midnight blue used in the central medallion and borders, creating a vibrant contrast that defines the piece. Collectors appreciate the depth and natural variation found in these early coral color rugs.
A dramatic, elongated central medallion anchors the design, rendered in a complex palette of navy, ochre, and soft terracotta. The spandrels utilize a lighter, almost ivory ground, allowing the intricate, stylized motifs common to floral rugs to truly pop against the field. Given its age and substantial dimensions, this piece functions perfectly as a magnificent room size rugs foundation for a grand interior.
The exceptional condition and remarkable color retention of this 1880s Bijar make it a significant find for discerning collectors. It represents a pinnacle of 19th-century weaving tradition, embodying the strength and artistic complexity expected of high-quality antique rugs.
