Antique Bidjar Persian Rug 41997

Bidjar Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century - A complex Herati pattern unfolds in brilliant tones of red, green and yellow across the deep navy field on this lush antique Bijar long rug. An animated 'turtle' of palmette vinescroll border on a rich red ground encloses the field with a rich, contrasting effect. The free, essentially village drawing of the details gives the piece a lively spontaneity that rugs with this meticulously detailed design often lack.
