Antique Bijar Large Room Size Wool Blue Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1860s. This exceptional example originates from the Kurdish weaving centers of Iran / Persia, renowned for producing some of the most robust and densely knotted textiles in the world. The specific style is a classic antique Bijar, instantly recognizable by its heavy structure and tightly packed wool foundation, often leading to the moniker "iron rugs." The field presents a complex, all-over Herati pattern set against a deep indigo ground, a signature characteristic of high-quality 19th-century weaving. The vibrant secondary colors—rust, terracotta, and pale celadon—provide a striking contrast to the dominant blue color rugs palette, ensuring visual depth and sophistication within the intricate design framework.
