BIJAR, Northwest Persian
4' 2" x 18' 1" Late 19th Century Price: $16,500
(High-Decorative)
Subtle abrash infuses even the most minute element of this spectacular 19th century Persian Bijar (Bidjar), seen especially in the diagonal lattices of this antique village rug’s well-rendered Herati motifs. An inviting natural palette of rich jewel tones includes distinctive goldenrod pinpoint accents. Its striking ivory main border catches the Oriental carpet connoisseur’s eye with a highly unusual, heavily deconstructed geometric design.
