Blue Antique Late 19th Century Oversized Persian Tribal Garous Design Bidjar Rug

$136,000.00

This oversized antique Persian carpet, dating to the late 19th century, is a formidable example of the "Iron Rugs of Persia"  - AKA Persian Bidjar rugs. Renowned for their incomparable structural density and legendary durability, Bidjar weavings from this era are among the most sought-after by collectors who value both artistic gravitas and functional resilience. This particular rug features the rare and prestigious Garous design, a sophisticated aesthetic originally developed for the Persian nobility and later adopted by the Kurdish weavers of the Bidjar region. The result is a rug that successfully bridges the gap between courtly elegance and raw, tribal vitality. The carpet is defined by its deep, commanding midnight blue field, which serves as a dramatic canvas for a large-scale, allover arrangement of split-arabesques, scrolling vines, and stylized floral palmettes.
