Bijar Rug

1920 - 1940
Description

The salmon ground is studded with an array of floral and geometric elements in soft blues, greens and yellows. The allover design is pleasing in scale and floats over an abrashed background. The darker border is strong and frames the rug perfectly. These old Bijars are thick and hardwearing and they sit perfectly flat which is not always the case in antique rugs. A really lovely decorative rug with good age.

Fair condition, some wear with the warps showing through as is common in this type of rug which are so tightly woven that the warps sit one on top of the other. Altogether a very robust piece suitable for any position.

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.

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.
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.

Bijar rugs are traditional hand-knotted Persian textiles produced by Kurdish weavers in and around the town of Bidjar in northwestern Iran. They are renowned in carpet history for their exceptionally dense, heavy pile and compact weave structure.

These rugs are crafted using natural hand-spun wool for the pile, knotted onto a sturdy foundation usually made of cotton or wool warps and wefts. The wool is historically dyed using plant-based and mineral pigments to achieve deep red, navy, and ivory tones.

Authentic pieces are distinguishable by their extreme weight and rigid body, caused by five-fold wet-wefting techniques beaten down tightly during weaving. They feature classic designs such as the Herati lattice motif, repeating floral motifs, or central stepped medallions.

A patterned woven rug serves as an anchor in neutral room schemes, contrasting with minimalist furniture or complementing classic timber joinery. Layering the piece over plain neutral carpets or polished wooden floorboards adds texture and depth.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to prevent fibre damage. Address spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth, and utilise professional hand-cleaning services specialised in historic textiles periodically.
