Antique Bidjar Rug

19th century
Description

Such a pretty pale border on this 140 year old antique Bidjar rug, these were woven in the Kurdish town in West Persia - famous for weaving tough carpets and rugs in varying designs.  This rug uses the 'Herati' fish design in the main field and ivory central medallion also known as the 'Mina-Khani' floral pattern.  Lovely pale pinks and early green dyes have been used to weave a delightful rug.

In wonderful condition, professionally washed and supplied with our sturdy anti-slip rug underlay.  A tiny few areas of lower pile can be seen but the general order is very good indeed.

Visit our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey to see this rug up close and over a 1000 more.  We hold one of the largest collections of antique rugs and contemporary carpets in the UK.

Request a home visit and we shall bring this rug for you to view in situ, along with more rugs if you select alternatives to view too.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Bidjar rugs originate from the town of Bidjar and surrounding Kurdish villages in north-western Iran. Known for their extreme structural durability and dense weave, these textiles were historically crafted using heavy beating techniques, earning them the moniker of iron rugs of Persia.

Traditional Bidjar rugs are hand-knotted using high-grade wool pile tied onto a heavy cotton or wool foundation. Weavers use a symmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knot and hammer down wet double-wefts to compress the pile tightly, producing an exceptionally heavy and dense structure.

Authentic Bidjar rugs are distinguished by their notable weight, rigid backing that resists folding, and dense pile. Key visual indicators include stepped central medallions, intricate floral or Herati pattern work, and saturated dye palettes featuring terracotta red, deep blue, and cream.

An antique wool rug acts as an anchoring centerpiece in contemporary or classic rooms. Position it centrally under furniture groupings on wood or stone flooring to add texture, geometric structure, and warm colour tones to neutral interior schemes.

Vacuum the rug regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar to protect the fibres. Promptly blot liquid spills with a clean dry cloth, place a quality rug pad underneath to prevent slippage and wear, and utilize professional wool-safe rug cleaning services when required.
