Though its exact age is unspecified, the piece reflects the dense weave and enduring character associated with Bidjar rugs.

On the Design

The rug features an open field composed of repeating angular floral motifs arranged in a structured lattice. A subdued celadon-green ground supports tones of rust, terracotta, gold, and muted ivory, lending a softened, timeworn palette.

The design emphasizes clarity and repetition, with geometric florals rendered in a disciplined, almost architectural manner, hallmarks of Bidjar sensibilities. Subtle abrash and natural dye variation introduce depth across the field, while maintaining overall cohesion. A broad main border encloses the composition with complementary floral elements, flanked by narrower guard borders that reinforce the rug’s linear format. The result is a balanced interplay of structure and ornament, well-suited to its elongated runner proportions.
