A 1920s Persian Bibikabad carpet measuring approximately 213.5 × 518.3 cm (about 7’0″ × 17’0″). The composition centers on a navy medallion design over a dark blue field, framed by an ivory border — a long-format carpet with the disciplined geometric vocabularies typical of the Bibikabad weaving tradition.
Bibikabad is a village near Hamadan in west-central Persia (now Iran), historically associated with workshop-quality village carpets in long, narrow proportions specifically produced for European and American demand for hallway, gallery, and large-room formats.
