About the Item
The description you provided details an impressive and collectible antique Persian Bijar Halwai carpet. Here's a summary of the key features and characteristics mentioned:
Size: The carpet measures 9 feet 2 inches in width by 12 feet 10 inches in length, making it a substantial and room-sized piece.
Design: The carpet features an all-over Herati design, a classic and intricate pattern widely used in Persian rugs. The Herati motif often symbolizes fish swimming beneath the surface of water in the moonlight.
Colors: The color palette of the carpet includes variegated shades of red, navy blue, sky blue, blush, beige, and ivory. These colors are carefully chosen to create a harmonious and visually appealing composition.
Age: This antique Bijar Halwai carpet dates back to the late 19th century, specifically from the 1880s. It reflects the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of that era.
Origin: The carpet originates from the village of Halwai, which is located in the north-eastern region of Bijar in Iran (Persia). Bijar is renowned for producing high-quality and durable rugs, often referred to as the "Iron rugs of Persia."
Quality: Bijar rugs, including this one, are known for their exceptional quality and durability. They are characterized by their dense and strong pile, typically woven with a high knot count. This particular carpet is noted for its soft and durable wool due to its higher knot count.
Symbolism: Persian rugs often incorporate symbolism, and in this case, the Herati motif carries cultural significance, representing fish in moonlight reflection. This adds depth and meaning to the carpet's design.
Condition: The carpet is described as being in very good condition and has been professionally cleaned. Well-preserved antique rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
Collector's Piece: The description emphasizes that this antique Bijar Halwai carpet is a collector's piece, highlighting its historical and cultural significance within Persian rug weaving traditions.
Artistry: The carpet is lauded for its exquisite details, including ornate finials and a finely detailed all-over pattern, showcasing the craftsmanship of the weaver.
Overall, this antique Persian Bijar Halwai carpet appears to be a remarkable piece with a rich history, intricate design, and exceptional quality. It would likely be a valuable addition to any collection or a striking centerpiece for a well-appointed space. When acquiring such an antique rug, it's essential to work with reputable dealers who can provide authentication and historical context.
