Description

Muted dyes of green, pale blue and red tones on this fabulous antique Bidjar runner in very high pile all over and in great original condition, seeing as it is so long it has stood the test of time.  These antique runners are known for their strength and durability, mainly due to the tough wool they used and the sturdy construction of usually four wefts.  This runner is a very classical repeating Bidjar design, having repeating elongated medallions running its length.

The main off white border is uplifting and woven with floral motifs and leaves in lovely natural colours. The weaver has signed this runner at the top too, and we can see a date written too, which we believe to read 1910.  This dates the runner to around 114 years old, remarkable to see and always a wonderful addition.

Home visits or a showroom visit can be organised to view this runner up close and are very welcome.  Contact us to arrange a viewing, we would love to help you.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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 are hand-knotted carpets produced in and around the town of Bidjar in western Iran, historically known for their exceptional density and durability.

These pieces typically feature a wool pile knotted onto a cotton or wool foundation, utilising a dense Turkish (Ghiordes) knot and a heavily beaten wet-weaving technique that makes the pile extremely rigid.

Authenticity is generally identified by an extremely stiff, heavy handle due to compacted construction, characteristic Herati or medallion motifs, and natural vegetable dyes.

An antique runner adds texture and heritage to contemporary spaces, working effectively in hallways, kitchens, or transitional corridors to ground neutral colour palettes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist washing when necessary, and the use of a quality underlay to prevent friction and slippage.
