This 8'2" x 11'5" Persian Bijar Rug (98 x 137 inches) is a remarkable example of one of the most celebrated and durable rug-weaving traditions in the world. Woven in the historic city of Bijar, located in the Kurdish region of northwestern Iran, this rug combines centuries-old craftsmanship with timeless aesthetics. Known as the “Iron Rugs of Persia”, Bijar rugs are revered for their unparalleled durability, heavy construction, and intricate designs.
Design & Motifs
This Bijar rug showcases a classic Herati-inspired pattern, featuring a central diamond medallion set against a vibrant rich red field with densely packed floral and geometric motifs. The medallion is surrounded by a lattice of small rosettes and vines, symbolizing life and continuity in Persian art. The use of deep navy, ivory, moss green, and hints of sky blue and rose provides visual depth and a luxurious contrast.
The ivory border, adorned with scrolling floral tendrils and repeating palmettes, frames the field beautifully, creating a perfect balance between complexity and harmony.
