(High-Decorative) This regal, first-quality antique Bijar runner demonstrates the harmonious color sense, balanced drawing, and deeply lustrous wool for which the best rugs in this style are well-known. A midnight indigo ground provides an exquisite backdrop for the cohesively arranged, allover ‘Herati’ pattern of blossoming boughs, diamond lattices, fronds and rosettes. Its glowing tones, including deep rose, aquamarine with azure and ivory accents. The rhythmic alteration between color selections within outlined motifs create a subtle pulsating effect within the balanced graphic design. Its saturated palette, carefully integrated allover pattern has a magnetic appeal that extend along its full, rarely encountered 18ft length. Happily, this eminently useful art runner is of the extremely heavy construction for which Bijar rugs are famed.
