This fine antique Bidjar carpet dates from 1920 in the Persian style, woven from wool and cotton. The piece displays a deep red, navy blue and ivory colour palette, detailed with a central medallion, stepped spandrels, compound floral borders and a dense Herati pattern. Additional visible details include an intricately patterned dark field, elaborate central lozenge motifs, and multiple decorative border bands framing the entire composition. The carpet measures 163 cm high, 103 cm wide and 1 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this floor covering sits comfortably in a gentleman's library, study or reception room, bringing traditional pattern and warmth to hardwood floors or beneath study furniture. The hard-wearing weave makes it suitable for everyday use in areas of moderate foot traffic, adding texture and classic Persian style to a living space.

FAQs

Originating from the Bidjar region in northwest Persia, these carpets are historically renowned for their extremely dense weave and heavy construction. They typically feature intricate central medallions, stepped spandrels, and repeating floral motifs woven into thick wool piles.

Traditionally, Bidjar carpets feature a thick wool pile hand-knotted onto a sturdy cotton or wool foundation. Double-weft construction and heavily pounded knots create an exceptionally dense, durable texture designed to withstand decades of use.

Authentic Bidjar carpets are distinguishable by their remarkable weight and rigidity relative to size, alongside precise hand-knotted detailing visible on the reverse side. The pile is densely packed, and the dyes historically derive from natural vegetable sources, yielding rich tones that age gracefully.

An antique Bidjar carpet anchors modern spaces by providing depth, rich colour, and geometric structure beneath contemporary neutral furniture. It pairs exceptionally well with polished hardwood floors, dark timber accents, and brass or leather furnishings.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotary beater bar to avoid damaging the wool fibres. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean dry cloth, and professional cleaning by an oriental rug specialist is recommended every few years.
