About the Item
79415 Antique Persian Bibikabad Rug Runner, 03'05 x 17'00. This hand knotted wool antique Persian Bibikabad rug runner exemplifies the refined village mastery for which the region is revered. Designed for elongated architectural spaces, the composition unfolds with ceremonial cadence, guiding the eye along its length with measured elegance. Bibikabad weavings are prized for their balance of sophistication and intimacy—never overly formal, yet unmistakably cultivated—making this exquisite work of art a discreet marker of connoisseurship.
At the heart of the exclusive design are three cusped concentric medallions, aligned in rhythmic procession. Each medallion is densely articulated with iconic Herati motifs, creating a sense of continuity and visual dialogue from one to the next. The repetition is intentional rather than mechanical, allowing subtle variation to reveal the hand of the weaver and the organic intelligence behind the pattern’s flow.
Surrounding the medallions, the field is animated by an allover Herati lattice, lending depth and texture without competing for dominance. This classic fish-and-flower vocabulary establishes visual harmony while reinforcing the medallions as structural anchors. The careful spacing and proportional restraint speak to a design tradition rooted in experience rather than ornament for ornament’s sake.
Framing the composition, a red border enriched with a navy meander and arabesque scrollwork is delicately dotted with rosettes and flanked by inner and outer floral meander guard bands. This layered enclosure creates a sense of architectural finish—confident, composed, and complete. Collected today by those who value heritage, rarity, and scholarly design, this extraordinary masterpiece offers an experience of quiet prestige, where tradition unfolds with grace along every step.
