Set against a rich antique red field, the allover design is brought to life with finely detailed accents in green, ivory, baby blue, pink, brown, and red, offering both visual depth and vibrant charm.

The primary border, rendered in a deep navy blue, frames the composition with geometric motifs in shades of yellow, pink, blue, and cream, complementing the central field with balanced contrast and elegance.

Bidjar rugs are renowned for their exceptionally tight weave and dense construction, often earning them the nickname "the iron rugs of Persia" due to their durability and substantial weight—typically two to three times heavier than comparable rugs from other regions.
