An antique Persian Bidjar rug. This rare format small Kurdish Bidjar displays two rows of elaborately depicted flowering plants with composite blossoms on an oyster ground with the narrowest of “running dog” wave borders. The plants could have been taken from Persian silk brocade textiles. A clue is the red detached floral sprays above each bush. Refined and sophisticated.
