Antique Persian Bidjar Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. This Kurdish city carpet features a slate field supporting a red and ecru forked arabesque and broken large lattice “Garrus” pattern. The “Garrus” pattern is almost certainly one of the most striking and desirable of all Bidjar designs. The rust-red border shows full length side border strips and a one end filler section, a reversal from the usual. A bold turtle palmette repeat is a proper partner for the field.
