A welcoming sense of vitality and folk art charm is apparent in this ardently hand-crafted antique Kurdish Bijar, based on a series of hexagons of ever-changing color. Well-placed pairs of flowering ‘Trees of Life’ and interstitially dispersed Zoroastrian S-glyphs continue the spontaneity expressed throughout this runner. Its expertly conceived palette of resonant, rainbow-like natural hues enlivens this rug with profound visual energy, rife with dramatic color shifts and peripatetic flourishes of variegated shades throughout. The geometric border based on the eons-old ashik design exhibits a sense of naive creativity along the length of this exuberant, nearly 150-year-old piece. Purposely constructed for great durability, this dynamic antique runner is still in heavier pile condition, guaranteeing decades of enchantment.
