Kurd-bidjar Long Rug, Persia, Circa 1870, 2.90m X 1.38m

19th century
Description

Although ostensibly this striking rug resembles late 19th century Bidjar weaving, the graphics are clearly inspired by earlier Kurdish rugs and in all likelihood it was woven by Kurdish weavers. It has an all wool foundation and a wonderful range of colours, including the a lovely light blue, terracotta, and the undyed camel's hair in the field. The ornamentation is archaic and dramatic, and includes Persian lions, camels, eagle style medallions and single botehs. It is a feast for the eyes. The field is framed by an elegantly drawn repeating floral border in lovely shades of terracotta and light blue. It is a truly charismatic rug and the height of Persian village weaving. This rug has survived in good condition. There is some abrasion to the pile and the selvages have been restored in places. Professionally cleaned.

This Persian tribal long rug dates from 1870 and follows a Kurdish Bidjar style with an all-wool foundation and a hand-knotted pile. The warm camel field displays a central terracotta diamond medallion alongside light blue spandrels, Persian lions, camels, eagle-style medallions, and single boteh motifs, all framed by a multi-banded geometric and repeating floral border in shades of terracotta and light blue. Visible signs of age include some abrasion to the pile and minor restorations to the selvages. The piece measures 290 cm high by 138 cm wide. Suitable for country house interiors, this runner provides an archaic aesthetic suitable for placement on hallways, landings, or living room floors.

FAQs

Kurd-Bidjar rugs were woven by Kurdish artisans in north-western Persia, combining robust hand-knotted construction with distinct geometric medallions and tribal motifs.

These rugs were crafted using hand-spun wool yarns for both the pile and foundation, dyed with traditional vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-spun wool irregularities, natural dye abrash shade variations, hand-bound selvedges, and minor structural asymmetries typical of village loom weaving.

A long rug or gallery format carpet functions effectively in entryways, wide corridors, or positioned at the foot of a bed to anchor room proportions.

Preservation requires gentle suction vacuuming without a rotating brush bar, annual rotation to balance foot traffic, and specialist hand-cleaning designed for historic textiles.
