Antique Bijar Persian Yellow 1880s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the robust weaving tradition of the Kurdish regions of West Persia. Bijar rugs are renowned for their heavy construction and tightly compressed wool, earning them the nickname "the iron rugs of Persia." This specific example, originating from the 1880s, is a significant find among Iranian Persian rugs. The central field is dominated by a warm, oxidized yellow ground, a rare and highly desirable hue among yellow color rugs. Across this luminous canvas, rows of stylized boteh and floral sprays are meticulously repeated in deep indigo, madder red, and subtle earth tones. The consistent repetition of the design creates a classic allover rugs pattern, lending the piece visual stability and depth.
