145/158cm X 303cm Antique Bidjar Region Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautiful, rich red abrashed ground colour on this lovely antique rug, with gorgeous green at each end of the field. This rug is not afraid, it is a celebration of colour and it cheers me up every time I look at it. Within a broad ivory border of various flowers and vines, this is a fabulous rug. Finely woven and in very nearly full, original pile height. There is some old, localised insect damage on one side which doesn't distract (see last photo). Built to be walked on, this great rug can easily last another 125 years...

Woven in the traditional tribal style, wider at the bottom end than the middle so its a minimum of 145cm or 4'9" and a maximum of 158cm or 5'6" wide

4'9" /5'6" x 9'11"

This antique Persian Kurdish rug from the Bidjar region dates from 1900 and is woven from wool and cotton. The textile measures 303 cm high, with a width varying from 145 cm to 158 cm, displaying a terracotta red field, navy blue central diamond medallion, green corner spandrels, and a cream floral border. It possesses a finely woven, nearly full and original pile height, alongside old localised insect damage on one side. The piece functions well on the floor in an English Country House interior. It incorporates geometric flower heads and a multi-stripe border in the traditional tribal style, showcasing vibrant red, green, cream, and navy blue tones throughout the field and borders.

FAQs

Originating from the Kurdish town of Bidjar in northwestern Persia, these carpets are historically renowned for their dense weave, heavy structure, and distinct geometric diamond medallion motifs framed by intricate multi-band borders.

Bidjar carpets are hand-knotted using durable, lanolin-rich wool pile woven onto a heavy cotton or wool warp and weft foundation, constructed with a dense double-weft technique.

Authentic pieces exhibit an unusually rigid, heavy weave structure created by pounding the wefts down wet during construction, alongside natural vegetable dyes that display subtle abrash colour variations.

Placing a richly toned traditional carpet in a hallway, corridor, or living space introduces grounded warmth, geometric structure, and organic contrast against timber or stone flooring.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure uniform wear, and engage professional rug cleaning specialists for spot treatment and preservation.
