Antique Persian Golfarang Bidjar Runner Rug, Country Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – While antique Persian rugs and runners use grand repetitions of small patterns, this antique rug is unique in the way that it presents larger floral elements, especially the famed golfarang design, in vibrant, beautifully detailed colors. The attention to detail is impressive in every aspect of this work, the artist’s effort and dedication clearly shows in the shading and lighting around the blooms. A bright blue background stands out against the red and pink floral elements at the foreground, the two contrasting to set an exquisite scene. Three borders frame around the center of this antique golfarang design Persian Bidjar rug each close behind the other to lead the viewer’s eyes to the runner’s core.
