Inner cream border with escutcheons and thick forked arabesques; red outer with rosettes and palmettes. Bidjar carpets were woven in Garrus before 1914, in the town of Bidjar after 1920. Extremely dense, compact and robust weave. Rare to find the "Garrus" pattern in a scatter or small carpet. Good condition, medium weave. less
