Bijar / 10102

A substantial Bijar in wool, the composition reads as a layered medallion field softened by age. The stepped central medallion and linked lozenges float within a floral vine border rendered in warm gold and muted red against a neutral ground. Surface abrasion and even abrash give the pile a burnished, tactile patina that emphasizes handwoven texture. The piece is an antique rug with measured presence, 12' 10" x 23' 0", its colours mellowed while motifs remain legible. Circa 1920 - 1940, this Bijar carries the quiet authority of time and use without losing its formal clarity.
