Bidjar Runner
About the Item
This elegant Bidjar runner balances the grandeur of a room size medallion carpet with the refinement of a more intimate piece. Runners present the weaver with a Challenge in their composition. Their narrow width limits the potential impact of field design, and the longer they are the more chance there is that a repeat design can be seen as repetitive. This runner masterfully breaks through this paradigm. With a sturdy Bidjar weave and Fine detailing, an elongated cartouche-shaped medallion is drawn spanning the width of the field at its center. Supplementary medallions are drawn in white and red on opposite sides, incorporating garlands of small ‘boteh’ paisleys in some while alternating medallions play on the repeat floral ‘Herati’ pattern of the field. The colors are exquisite and vivid with a particularly radiant gold.

- Bidjar RunnerLocated in San Francisco, CAThis exceedingly pleasing Bidjar runner approaches the long and narrow format in a playful and novel manner. During the late 19th century the Kurdish town of Bijar and its surrounding area became a major Persian carpet producing center, weaving a variety of rugs and carpets both small and large. Central medallions were a popular design format used in these carpets. While a variety of all-over designs appear in Bidjar pieces, here a design based on a repeating prominent central medallion is skillfully improvised. Runners were traditionally paired with large carpets so it is likely that this piece was woven as part of a set, of which the central piece was a large medallion carpet. Indeed, khaki panels drawing colorful linked palmettes of the type used in the borders of large Bidjar...Category
