Antique Bibikabad Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of a bibikabad weaving showcases the high-density knotting and rich palette characteristic of the Hamadan region during the early 20th century. The quality of the wool and dye work confirms its status as a significant piece of textile history, reflecting the enduring artistry of Persian craftsmanship. The deeply saturated midnight blue color field provides a dramatic contrast to the intricate, repeating boteh and vine work that fills the ground. The main design is dominated by a grand central medallion rendered in vibrant terracotta and coral tones, which are echoed throughout the complex, multi-layered borders. This dense ornamentation is typical of traditional floral rugs from Western Persia.
