This is a fine quality hand-knotted vintage Persian Bidjar in mint condition.  The pattern is known as a "fish design", with intricate colorful details in concentric layers leading to a central geometric medallion. This rug has a very high double knot count or KPSI (knots per square inch), in which each knot is woven twice.   This makes for an extremely thick, dense weave, which is why Bidjars are known as "iron rugs" that can withstand high traffic and will last generations.  The rug was hand-knotted using fine quality wool and exquisite craftsmanship.  The central medallion begins with a diamond of the palest blue.  The next layer is a luscious shade of tomato red with the slightest undertone of orange before the midnight blue layer which includes the corners and leads to a midnight blue border. Each layer is meticulously covered in exquisite detail with small flowers, curls that look like feathers and are meant to represent fish, and countless other small geometric motifs.  There are so many colors that you can get lost in them - burgundy, lemonade pink, hot pink, silver, burnt orange, sky blue, camel, lavender, royal blue, turquoise, steel blue, coral and countless others, all made from only vegetable and other natural dyes. The stunning elegant border has a complementary garland of larger flowers on the vine in all of the rug's elegant colors, framed by multiple thin rows of repeating geometric motifs.  This is a truly special piece that will last forever and elevate any room.  Size: 3'8"x5'4"
