Woven with unmistakable density and strength, this antique Persian Bidjar runner (3.11 × 15.9 ft) showcases the famous durability of “the Iron Rug of Persia.” Its field features an elongated hexagonal medallion layout, packed tightly with stylized boteh motifs — each rendered in vibrant shades of crimson, sapphire, ivory, and forest green over a dark indigo ground.
The multiple borders frame the central design with alternating floral, lattice, and diamond patterns, adding richness and movement without overwhelming the piece. Bidjar runners like this are known not only for their bold visuals but also for their solid, compact weave — making them ideal for high-traffic hallways or gallery spaces.
