 3rd Quarter 19th Century Bijar
RRKB4488

Origin: Iran/Persian
Design: Kurdish/Bijar 
Pile: Wool on wool foundation
Size: 4-4 x 8-10
Dyes: Vegetal
Age: Antique

Design Considerations:

Later 19th century Persian Bijar with classic medallion and anchor pendants on an open field. Has some issues but would be a great candidate for restoration or enjoyed as is as authentic statement piece.

 Notes: Professionally cleaned by accredited ARCS (Association of Rug Care Specialists) member, Renaissance Rug Cleaning to their exacting standards. 

One of the great authorities on rugs, Murray Eiland said, "If we were to designate a fifth major category of oriental rug, there would be convincing arguments that Kurdish weavers are an entity in themselves... Nevertheless, judging by by the variety of patterns and techniques, by their large output for probably many centuries, and by the quality of their best pieces, the Kurds should certainly rank among the most imaginative and prolific of weavers."

Thank you.
