19th Century Persian Bidjar Runner in All-Over Paisley Pattern in Ivory, Rust

Vintage Persian Kurdish Bidjar runner, meticulously hand-knotted in the early 1900s. Originating from the skilled Kurdish weavers of Persia's Bidjar region, renowned for producing some of the most dense and durable rugs in the world, this piece embodies both strength and captivating tribal artistry. This Bidjar runner features a distinctive geometric medallion pattern, thoughtfully arranged along an inviting abrash terracotta red field. The abrash, a beautiful variation in color tone, adds depth and authenticity, reflecting the traditional dyeing methods. The field proudly displays five prominent medallions, connected by an elegant central line that culminates in a smaller medallion at each end, creating a visually compelling flow. Adding to its unique charm, the field and borders are adorned with intriguing and delightful design elements, including small, stylized animal and human forms, offering glimpses into the weaver's personal narrative and the tribal world. The composition is expertly framed by a border comprised of three narrow bands: one in a serene French blue, another in a grounding brown, and the outermost in a subtle pale yellow or creamy ivory. A truly remarkable feature, this runner is dated 1329 in the Islamic calendar, which precisely corresponds to 1911, solidifying its antique status and adding a layer of historical significance. Crafted with the renowned "iron-like" weave of Bidjar, this rug promises incredible durability and a lifetime of beauty.
