This intriguing antique Kurdish Bidjar rug, with its pleasing patina and traditional treatment of tribal elements of design, represents the Kurdish approach to rug composition.

Tribal Persian Antique Kurdish Bidjar Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: Turn of the 20th Century – This charming piece is resplendent with the sort of detail work and traditional treatment of  form and composition that generally go into characterizing Kurdish rugs. The field of this tribal Kurdish Bidjar rug is especially intriguing: for while most of it is open, with just the soft beige tone that characterizes the entire piece showing, it is also irregularly dappled with a series of intriguing tribal design elements which dance impishly across the field, each one at least slightly different than the last. This charming composition is further characterized by a series of exciting, traditionally tribal inner and outer borders, each of which is rich with color and detail. A beautiful tribal composition, this antique Persian antique tribal Kurdish Bidjar rug demonstrates many of the qualities of tribal pieces that make them so appealing to collectors and admirers of antique Oriental rugs.
