Antique Bidjar Kelleh

19th century
Description

An early antique Bidjar kelleh, dating from circa 1870-80 in fabulous original condition, stunning abrash in the red dyes (abrash being the term for dye change).  The four soft sandy yellow corner spandrels are a particular highlight, as an early dye often using expensive saffron to obtain this colour.  A classical Bidjar design with the central motif floating on the soft red background.  The minor borders have fabulous pale blues and greens for the guard border too.

Condition is really fabulous, with a wonderful soft wool pile and no significant restoration, some preservation to the ends and sides, as you would expect on a carpet dating over 140 years old.  This piece would look remarkable in a wider entrance hall or corridor, on a wood floor, sisal or tiled floor.  We supply underlay with every one of our rugs to aid their condition and provide safety, as this stops their movement on the floor.

If you would like to request a home or showroom visit we can show you this outstanding Bidjar kelleh carpet in person. We travel all over the UK helping customers and interior designers find beautiful carpets for homes, plus our barn showroom is open Monday to Saturday by appointment only.

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

A Bidjar Kelleh is a hand-knotted Persian carpet originating from the Kurdish region of Bidjar, crafted in an elongated format wider than a standard hallway runner.

Bidjar carpets are constructed with a durable wool pile hand-knotted onto a sturdy cotton or wool foundation, using densely packed Turkish knots.

Authentic Bidjar textiles are recognized by their exceptionally heavy, rigid construction, high knot density, structured geometric medallions, and deep natural dye palettes.

Position an elongated Kelleh rug in wide corridors, open-plan living areas, or beneath long dining tables to add colour structure to contemporary or classic spaces.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush, turn the carpet annually to equalize wear, and clean liquid spills immediately with cold water.
