This antique Persian Bidjar runner, woven in the fourth quarter of the 19th century, is a rare and highly collectible piece of textile art. Its ivory field, an uncommon and coveted feature, is adorned with stylized floral heads, interpreted as a unique variation of the paisley motif—a symbol of fertility and eternity in Persian design. The rug’s major border features a rich navy blue background, filled with colorful geometric square designs in brilliant tones of green, red, brown, and more, offering a striking contrast to the pale central field. Framing this are saffron yellow guard borders, delicately patterned with red floral heads, adding warmth and elegance. Large-format paisley elements appear throughout in beautifully balanced hues of pink, yellow, blue, and brown, showcasing the artistry and complexity of village weaving techniques that define Bidjar craftsmanship. Known for their durability and density, Bidjar rugs are often called the “iron rugs of Persia,” and this runner exemplifies that legacy with refined detail and historical richness. An exceptional choice for collectors and interior designers alike, this runner brings history, character, and fine Persian artistry into any hallway or long space.
