Antique Bijar Persian Blue 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of a Bijar weaving showcases the robust construction and dense knotting for which the Kurdish region is famed. The central field is dominated by a rich indigo, contributing to the tradition of blue color rugs that define classical Persian aesthetics.
The design features a highly articulated central medallion structure, surrounded by an elaborate network of stylized palmettes and meandering vines rendered in warm tones of terracotta, saffron, and moss green. This bold, geometric interpretation distinguishes it among floral rugs produced in Northwest Persia.
Dating from the 1930s, this piece exhibits excellent wool quality and retains the characteristic high pile that ensures longevity, earning Bijar the nickname “the Iron Rug of Persia.” Its age and condition confirm its status among desirable antique rugs from the early 20th century.
The compact dimensions of this weaving make it an ideal example of small scatter size rugs, perfectly suited for adding a concentrated dose of color and history to a foyer, study, or intimate seating arrangement.
