A monumental 19th-century West Persian Bijar carpet from around 1880, measuring approximately 335.3 × 548.7 cm (about 11’0″ × 18’0″). The composition pairs a powder-blue field with a soft red border — an unusually pale and decorative palette for a Bijar of this scale.
Bijar is a town in the Kurdish region of northwestern Persia (now Iran), historically known for the densely-woven “iron carpets of Persia.”
Hand-knotted wool, densely packed. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
