About the Item

This superb early 20th-century Kurdish Bidjar rug is an exceptional example of one of Persia’s most durable and visually commanding weaving traditions. The luxurious camel hair field provides a warm, softly glowing foundation for an all-over paisley pattern, a design format deeply rooted in Persian textile symbolism and favored for its rhythmic elegance and visual depth. The paisleys unfold across the surface in a beautifully organized composition, creating a sense of movement and harmony that feels both decorative and architectural. A sophisticated palette of green, red, yellow, navy blue, French blue, and cream animates the field, each hue derived from traditional natural dyes that have mellowed gracefully over time. The colors remain vibrant yet balanced, allowing the pattern to read clearly without overpowering the eye—ideal for both classic and contemporary interiors. Framing the composition is a finely detailed triple-border system, composed of three narrow guard borders in French blue, rich red, and soft pale yellow to ivory. This layered border treatment adds definition and contrast while elegantly anchoring the field design.

19th Century Persian Bidjar Runner in Rare Ivory Field with All Over Paisley
Located in Barrington, IL
This antique Persian Bidjar runner, woven in the fourth quarter of the 19th century, is a rare and highly collectible piece of textile art. Its ivory field, an uncommon and coveted feature, is adorned with stylized floral heads, interpreted as a unique variation of the paisley motif—a symbol of fertility and eternity in Persian design. The rug’s major border features a rich navy blue background, filled with colorful geometric square designs in brilliant tones of green, red, brown, and more, offering a striking contrast to the pale central field. Framing this are saffron yellow guard borders, delicately patterned with red floral heads, adding warmth and elegance. Large-format paisley elements appear throughout in beautifully balanced hues of pink, yellow, blue, and brown, showcasing the artistry and complexity of village weaving techniques that define Bidjar craftsmanship. Known for their durability and density, Bidjar rugs are often called the “iron rugs of Persia,” and this runner exemplifies that legacy with refined detail and historical richness. An exceptional choice for collectors and interior designers alike, this runner brings history, character, and fine Persian artistry into any hallway or long space.
