Antique Persian Bidjar Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – A plateau of red scales, bordered by an obsidian gate that locks the paradoxical chaos into an order of arrange shapes, resembling that of a lizard hide. Spades of ivory jut into the center of the piece, pointing to a hidden meaning in the blood red lakes of medallions and flowers. This Bidjar exhibits the finest traditional elements of the Persian design.
