While its design is Serab in style, the tight, expert weave of this lovely antique runner shows that it is Bijar.

Beautiful Tribal Antique Persian Bidjar Runner Rug, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – Persian Bidjar rugs are unique for their angular motifs, appearing almost like Caucasian rugs in their choice of color and arrangement. Some Bidjar rugs follow classical Persian rug motifs instead, focusing on finer and more flowing movements in order to draw attention to the fine weaving present along the high-quality materials. In this magnificent Persian runner rug, the arrangement is designed to cascade down in the traditional runner fashion, which encourages the viewer to start at the top and work their way to the bottom. The warm and earthy color palette of this antique Persian Bidjar runner rug, is both inviting and comfortable, designed to make the viewer feel at home amidst the shapes as they elegantly repeat along the surface.
