A 19th-century West Persian Bijar carpet from around 1880, measuring approximately 91.5 × 518.2 cm (about 3’0″ × 17’0″) — an unusually long runner format suited to gallery passages, long hallways, and the longest residential corridors. The composition pairs a camel-toned field with a blue-toned border.
Bijar is a town in the Kurdish region of northwestern Persia (now Iran), historically known for producing some of the most densely woven, structurally heavy wool carpets in the Persian tradition — the so-called “iron carpets of Persia.”
Hand-woven wool, densely packed pile. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
