Yezda underlay An early 20th century KurdishA late 20th century Persian carpet in the Bidjar style. Intricate patterning with deep red and warm apricot on a dark blue central ground. This is a robust carpet with medium thick pile and in good condition. The pile has a patina (slightly glossy) and is very sensitive to light condition. What might look like colour variation or marks in the photos are actually to do with how the pile in that section happens to lie in relation to the light. Video at
