Vintage Persian Bidjar Rug
No. 25182
Persia, Mid-20th Century
1 ft. 3 in. x 1 ft. 4 in.
(0.38 x 0.40 m)
A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Possibly a sampler (wagireh), or perhaps a tiny rug, the rose field features a partial Herati design with fragmented open diamonds, rosettes, and fish leaves. The light straw border displays turtle palmettes, rosettes, and barbed bitonal leaves. One of the smallest known Bidjars.
