Bijar Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Bijar Persian rug, measuring 10'7" x 4'11", presents a captivating mihrab prayer design that showcases the masterful artistry of Kermanshah weavers from 40-60 years ago. The rich madder red field creates a striking foundation, beautifully complemented by deep navy blue borders and intricate geometric medallion motifs that flow seamlessly across the wool and cotton construction.
Originating from the renowned weaving region of Kermanshah in Persia, Bijar rugs have earned their reputation as the "Iron Rugs of Persia" due to their exceptional durability and tight weave structure. This particular piece reflects the traditional craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations of Persian artisans, utilizing both symmetrical Ghiordes and asymmetrical Persian knots to create a dense, long-lasting foundation that has beautifully aged over the decades.
The mihrab or prayer design holds profound spiritual significance in Persian culture, representing the niche in a mosque that indicates the direction of prayer toward Mecca. The geometric patterns surrounding the central medallion feature intricate details in crimson, burgundy, gold, and ivory, creating a harmonious color palette that speaks to the weaver's sophisticated understanding of traditional Persian symbolism and aesthetic balance.
The sophisticated color combination of madder red, navy blue, and black creates a dramatic yet refined presence, while the subtle beige and ivory accents provide perfect balance to the deeper hues. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian character and timeless elegance. The burgundy and gold highlights add warmth and luxury, making this semi antique treasure a stunning focal point for hallways, entryways, or as an accent piece in larger rooms.
At 10 feet in length, this Bijar runner offers exceptional versatility for modern home design, whether placed in a long corridor, beside a bed, or defining a narrow space in contemporary or traditional settings. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic piece with its original fringed edges intact, representing decades of careful preservation and the enduring beauty of Persian textile artistry.
