Small size antique Bidjar rugs from the “Lion Rug” group are among the most rare types of Persian rugs from the late 19th century. Room size examples are even less common.

The navy border is rendered in a distinctive style and the inclusion of two interior guard border and two exteriors guard borders is a nice feature.
