This Bidjar was woven by Kurds during the late 19th Century.
This grand scale antique Bidjar carpet features the evocative Bid Majnun design a poetic and symbolic layout named for the weeping branches of the trees and reminiscent of the legendary figure Majnun in Persian literature. The rare ivory ground provides a luminous backdrop for a striking garden composition, filled with stylized willows, cypresses, and flowering shrubs rendered in rich natural dyes.
This piece exemplifies the signature durability of Bidjar rugs which are renowned for their heavy, compact construction and enduring beauty. A bold central diamond medallion anchors the composition, while the layered floral borders provide a vibrant frame that balances structure with lyrical movement. A rug of exceptional scale and presence, this Bidjar is ideal for collectors
