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"

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

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.
