Description
Size: 2 ft 2 in x 5 ft (0.66 m x 1.52 m) - Bidjar Rug, Persia, Final Quarter of the 19th Century - This antique Persian sampler captures the stately masculine appearance of Bidjar along with the region's iconic calyx-based arabesques. This wagireh displays a partial repeat of a grand arabesque defined by strong directional stems, quirky palmettes and magnificent recurving calyces with sharp linear features and cerise hues. These grand motifs are set against a dark midnight blue ground and surrounded by an assortment of floral sprays, including clove pink carnations, asters with bulbous stems and stylized flower clusters that display distinctive colors and ornamental features. This antique Bidjar wagireh is an artful study that allows the weaver and designer to experiment with form, composition and color and to select the ideal combination of these decorative traits. 47379
