About the Item

This antique Persian rug, attributed by structure and weave to the Bijar region, dates to the late 19th to early 20th century. Hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, it exemplifies Bijar’s reputation for exceptional density and structural integrity. The rug measures approximately 8 ft x 11 ft (about 244 × 335 cm), placing it in a large room-size format. Its age, materials, and knotting place it firmly in the collectible category of durable Persian workshop production. The design follows a dense allover floral layout with no central medallion, relying instead on continuous patterning to create visual richness. Small to medium curvilinear motifs—stylized rosettes, floral sprays, and scrolling vines—are evenly distributed across the field. A wide, layered border system frames the composition, with a lighter ivory-beige border providing contrast against the deeper blue ground. The palette balances a muted blue field with warm earth tones—camel, walnut brown, parchment, and soft gold—enhanced by visible abrash that adds depth and authenticity. Construction is a defining feature. The rug is woven with symmetric (Turkish) knots at an estimated 151–250 KPSI, combined with deep warp depression and multiple weft shots—hallmarks of Bijar’s famously compact weave. The low pile (approx. 4 mm) yields a firm handle and excellent wear resistance, making the rug highly stable underfoot and suitable for long-term placement with minimal movement. From a professional standpoint, this rug supports formal and classic interiors—libraries, drawing rooms, master bedrooms, or restrained dining spaces. Its muted blue-and-earth palette integrates seamlessly with traditional woods, stone, and layered neutral schemes, while the allover scale performs well beneath furniture without visual interruption. Bijar rugs are widely recognized for strong value retention due to their durability and prestige. Condition is Wear Grade A. No repairs are noted. Colors show even, natural aging with no distinct staining or visible color run. Selvedges remain intact and straight. Given the rug’s age and natural dyes, gentle, low-moisture professional cleaning is advised to preserve structure and patina.
