This extraordinary low-pile Bijar by the weaver Halvaee is considered a museum piece. An antique, this rug remains in impeccable, near mint, condition, never once having required repair. The brilliance of its blood-orange and navy dyes has lasted through the years. The design of this rug is remarkable, for it incorporates several elements from different regions of Iran. The weaver could have only learnt these techniques and styles by travel—a noteworthy detail, as travel would have been arduous and costly at the time of this rug’s weaving. Some of the design elements include a geometric slimi (interlocking vines), a fish motif, and a boteh (similar to paisley) motif in the medallion.
