Bijar / 23154

This Bijar antique rug measures 14' 11" x 24' 8" and carries the dense, layered character associated with the type. An allover floral ground is softened by horizontal bands of wear, allowing teal and coral tones to move in and out of focus across the field. The border remains lively, with scrolling floral detail and small medallion accents in rust, cream, and aqua. Circa 1880 - 1900, the surface feels timeworn yet balanced, with a richly patinated finish that preserves the rug’s architectural presence and intricate design language. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
