19th Century W. Persian Bijar Carpet , Size: 11'3" x 18'
Floral Medallion Coral / Salmon Pink Wool 1880s Antique Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Large Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of a late 19th-century weaving showcases a vibrant field saturated in a luminous, variegated coral tone, often referred to as salmon coral pink color rugs. The rich wool pile exhibits subtle abrash, highlighting the natural variation inherent in traditional dyeing techniques, lending the piece remarkable depth and visual texture.
The monumental stepped medallion anchors the composition, rendered in deep indigo and navy blue, providing a striking contrast against the warm field. This central element, along with the corresponding spandrels, is densely populated with intricate arabesques and stylized blossoms, characteristic of sophisticated floral rugs from the period. The complexity of the knotting ensures that even the smallest motifs retain crisp definition.
A multi-tiered border system frames the central drama, incorporating delicate ivory guard stripes flanking a main border filled with scrolling palmettes and vine work. Given its generous proportions, this piece is classified as a large oversized big rug, designed to command the primary space in a grand salon or formal dining room, offering both historical gravitas and unparalleled decorative impact.
Woven in the 1880s, this hand-knotted treasure represents a pinnacle of late Qajar-era craftsmanship. Its superb condition and powerful color palette make it a highly desirable acquisition for collectors of fine antique rugs, offering a tangible connection to the artistry and enduring quality of 19th-century Persian weaving traditions.
