An antique Persian Bidjar carpet. A small scale Herati pattern is everywhere: the cream field, navy diamond medallion, rust-red sub-medllion, navy corners - but the huge, light blue, blade-like pendants cut through and appear as truly dominant design elements. The borders are narrow in keeping with the diminutive field repeat. The texture is very firm, the weave is incredibly compact and this iconic Kurdish town weave Bidjar will wear literally forever. A rug to keep and pass on.
