The distinctive weaving techniques used in this northwestern Persian region create pieces with remarkable density and structure. These rugs represent the height of Persian workshop craftsmanship, where technical excellence meets artistic sophistication.
Design Elements
This exemplary Bijar features the meticulous detail and formal composition that distinguish rugs from this prestigious weaving center. The crisp Herati pattern, deeply saturated field, and multi-framed borders reflect workshop-level precision and artistry. The balanced medallion layout with its bold contrasts creates a powerful visual presence that commands attention while maintaining classical proportions and refined elegance.
Placement
The 8' 0'' x 11' 2'' dimensions make this rug ideal for formal living rooms, studies, or dining areas. Its rich burgundy palette with slate blue and ivory accents creates a sophisticated foundation for traditional interiors or spaces seeking a dramatic focal point. The structured design provides architectural presence that works particularly well with classical furnishings and defined room layouts.
Care Recommendations
To preserve the rug's beauty:
Rotate periodically for even wear
Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting
