Design and Motifs

This 10 x 13 Persian Bijar rug presents a striking architectural composition centered around a commanding geometric diamond medallion. Surrounding the medallion, layered angular panels cascade outward in precise symmetry, a signature structure within classic Bijar design language. The corner spandrels mirror the medallion geometry, creating a powerful visual rhythm that gives the rug its bold and dignified presence. The wide outer border is richly filled with scrolling floral vines, palmettes, and rosette blossoms, framing the interior with refined balance.

Patterns

The field is densely filled with repeating Herati-style floral lattice motifs arranged in tight geometric alignment, producing a surface of extraordinary visual depth. Each diagonal section transitions subtly into the next through crisp outlining and deeply saturated color shifts. The medallion interior carries a concentrated diamond lattice structure, adding contrast and visual gravity at the center. The borders showcase continuous floral sprays, layered guard borders, and rhythmic vine scrolls that complete the structured luxury of the composition.

Color Placement and Balance

The dominant brick red field anchors the visual strength of this rug, appearing throughout the main panels and corner reserves. The central medallion is defined by a luminous ivory surround filled with compact floral rosettes, enclosing a walnut brown inner core rich with midnight navy blue and soft gold highlights. Charcoal black outlines sharpen every motif and define the geometry with precision. Olive green, steel blue, and warm beige accents appear throughout the floral borders and detailing, while rosewood and soft gold highlights bring warmth and dimensional contrast across the entire surface.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Woven entirely from high-quality Persian wool, this Bijar rug exhibits the legendary dense structure and weight that has earned Bijar rugs the reputation as the highest quality rugs in the entire wool category. Often referred to as “Iron Rugs,” Bijars are woven with an exceptionally tight knot structure, giving the rug remarkable durability, resilience, and long-term structural integrity. The wool pile is naturally luminous, offering both depth of color and a refined tactile finish.

Condition

This rug is in excellent condition, with strong pile, crisp pattern definition, clean edges, and no visible repairs. The wool surface remains vibrant and structurally sound throughout.
