(High-Decorative) (“Spring 2019 New Acquisition“) Nothing enlivens a small niche or bedside like a one-of-a-kind area-size antique Persian rug with its limitless reinterpreting of traditional regional patterns. This multi-medallion design has been resized from the usual room size template where it most often appears, here creating a very distinctive accent piece. The sky blues brilliantly soften the contrast with the rich carnelian red and deep indigo. Intentional color shifts, which the weavers referred to as ‘abrash’, add dimensionality and movement to the design. Bijars are known as “The Iron Rugs of Persia” and this 100-year-old piece with its time softened color and intriguing visage will continue to provide a beautiful accent for many decades.
