Bijar Silk Kilim Lot: 134
Bijar Silk Kilim A precious, all silk, extremely fine Bijar kilim, with a blazing red field, a blue central medallion and six bouquets protruding into the field from the corners and sides.

The offset lines in the foundation that form a fine lattice in the field are a typical feature. The design of these kilims is probably influenced by French fabrics. – Very good condition.
