Bijar / 11344

A long Bijar runner in wool, 4' 0" x 18' 0", with a saturated red field punctuated by cream and white accents and framed by neutral border bands. The surface reads as a disciplined allover of small floral and palmette motifs, their repeated hooks and stems creating a steady, medallion-like rhythm along the length. Low distress preserves crisp pattern definition while age has softened the pile to a tactile, quietly luminous hand. The borders are precisely scaled to the runner format, offering a refined counterpoint to the central field. This antique rug balances assertive geometry and subtle wear. Circa 1910 - 1930
