Description

I love these fabulous old Bidjar carpets with the 'Mina Khani' design. This one is a great example for a number of reasons; It is the older type with a woollen warp and weft, it has a red ground and most unusually it has a golden yellow border. If you look closely at the Mina Khani, you will see that no two flowers are the same, even when they are meant to be, and the vines flowing in a circular motion that connect the flowerheads are also, jigging and bumping around. All of these small details add up to a captivating rug, a work of pure art, that gives great pleasure even after many years.

FAQs

Bidjar carpets are traditionally woven by Kurdish artisans in the mountainous region of western Iran, known for their exceptional durability and distinct geometric and floral compositions.

These carpets are crafted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation, employing a symmetrical Turkish knot alongside a dense, multi-wefted structure that creates their characteristic heavy handle.

Authenticity is typically assessed by examining the extreme density of the weave, the rigidity of the foundation caused by hammered-down wefts, natural vegetable dyes, and traditional Kurdish motifs.

An antique rug can be integrated into modern schemes by using it as a grounding anchor for minimalist furniture, providing a rich layer of texture, history, and colour contrast.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fade.
