KURDISH BIJAR (Bidjar), Northwest Persian
11' 8" x 14' 9" Late 19th Century Price: $44,000
(High-Decorative)
This antique Persian Kurdish Bijar (Bidjar) village carpet exudes a great Old World allure and an alluring sense of visual movement and depth. This is skillfully achieved through the counterbalance between its intricately nuanced allover Herati pattern against its radiant deep cobalt blue field, surrounded by its rich coral-toned border of more spacious pattern. Excellent wool quality coupled with extremely good pile condition gives its surface an alluring luster, while the unusually generous width of its nearly 12x15 dimensions makes this 130-140-year-old Persian carpet ideal for use in a great room or library setting.
