This antique 1920s Persian Bidjar runner is renowned for its unmatched durability, often called the "iron rug" of Persia. Pound for pound, it's one of the heaviest Persian rugs, with densely packed wool within each knot that is then meticulously pounded down on the loom. The main field showcases raw camel wool, beautifully marbled with its unique and organic texture. Its powerful step medallions are accented by brilliant vegetable dyed wool, with vibrant, lasting colors that pop against the lovely neutral ground of the raw camel wool.
This gorgeous runner pays homage to nature, with an animalistic element within the design. The border bands are adorned with floral patterns and diagonal stripes, adding a charming decorative vibe that complements the overall composition. Place it in a hallway, entryway, or a kitchen and let it infuse the space with beauty and style. In nice condition with a slight curvature reflecting its handmade craftsmanship, this rugged Bidjar runner is built to last for generations—heavy like a Chevy, enduring like no other.
In excellent condition. Heavy weighted, solid construction.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
