{"product_id":"11156-10x13-persian-handmade-bijar-vintage-rug","title":"11156 - Persian Bijar Oversized Rug 10'2\" x 13'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA close herati lattice over deep navy gives this lovely rug its quiet depth. Rows of small rosettes and curling leaves cover the navy field in rust, camel and cream, laid out as the herati, the fish-and-leaf lattice. There is no medallion, and the repeat runs unbroken from edge to edge. The handsome main border is rust, carrying palmettes, rosettes and curling vines, with small navy and cream cartouches set along its length. Camel guard stripes with a small repeat run on both sides of it, each edged by a narrow blue line. A plain navy band closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the rug. It slips into a formal dining room or a library, the rust border warming the deep navy center. At 10'2\" by 13'1\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalter Hawley, writing on rugs in 1913, placed Bijar a hundred miles beyond Hamedan on the road to Tabriz. Bijar weavers made a remarkable number of vagirehs, sample pieces showing portions of several patterns and borders, used as models for large carpets. Bijar in Kurdistan has long been called the iron rug of Persia. This rug carries its whole field as one repeat, the herati lattice set closely across the navy ground with no medallion to break it. The rust border holds larger palmettes and rosettes on curling vines, a broader scale than the field. Layer after layer of camel guard stripes and a fine blue line step out from the field to the dark navy edge, giving the frame real depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned.
