Additional Features

• Handwoven in wool, this antique Bidjar kilim from Persia dates to circa 1880–1920
• A distinctive example of flatweave construction from a region more widely known for its pile rugs, this piece reflects Bidjar's enduring emphasis on structure, durability, and geometric precision, interpreted through a lighter, more versatile kilim format
• Admirers of the craft will appreciate this Bidjar kilim for its bold, graphic interpretation of the classic medallion-and-spandrel composition
• The central field is anchored by a prominent geometric medallion rendered in rich red and deep navy tones, with angular floral elements extending outward in a highly stylized, almost architectural arrangement
• Unlike pile-woven Bidjar rugs known for their density, this kilim achieves visual depth through crisp linework and contrast
• The interplay of ivory, soft blue, and muted terracotta accents against the darker ground enhances the clarity of each motif, allowing the geometry to be read with striking definition
