Antique Bidjar Rug 2.22m X 1.24m

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Rug Addiction
Description

A fabulous antique Bidjar rug, hand woven circa 1900, possibly a little earlier. The design features a large hexagonal medallion on a plain (ish, more of which later!) camel field surrounded by an indigo border and wonderfully random inner border. I have seen many rugs with figures but this is the first with what appear to be a couple of scorpions!

Size: 2.22m x 1.24m (7ft 4in x 4ft 1in)

This rug is in good condition with light, age related wear, very slightly heavier on a section of the border (see photos). Fringes and selvedges are secure and it has been professionally cleaned.

Free worldwide shipping.

FAQs

Bidjar rugs originate from the Kurdish town of Bidjar in northwestern Iran, renowned for their heavy construction and dense weave. Historically woven by Kurdish craftspeople, these carpets feature distinctive geometric motifs, central medallions, and durable wool pile structure.

Traditional Bidjar rugs are constructed using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile, knotted onto a wool or cotton foundation warp and weft. Craftspeople use a heavy wooden comb to beat down double-wefts between rows, creating an extraordinarily dense, thick fabric structure.

Authentic antique Bidjar rugs are recognised by their exceptionally heavy, rigid feel and dense weave structure, making them difficult to fold. They typically feature saturated vegetable dyes, symmetrical Turkish knots, step-edged medallions, and intricate floral or geometric border motifs.

A Bidjar rug anchors a space by providing visual weight, geometric structure, and grounded tones under low-profile furniture. Place it beneath a coffee table in a living room, in an entryway, or alongside neutral timber furnishings to create contrast against contemporary finishes.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a rotating brush attachment to avoid damaging the hand-knotted pile fibres. Clean spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth, and schedule professional hand-washing by a specialist textile restorer every few years.
