This antique Persian Bijar rug originates from 1910 and displays a distinctive curved-ended shape with a cream-coloured ground. The wool and cotton composition incorporates a central terracotta red octagonal medallion, geometric navy blue and blue star motifs, and a patterned border, showing visible wear in places alongside minor edge damage. Measuring 1 cm high, 275 cm wide, and 186 cm deep, the floor covering fits easily into living rooms, studies, or hallways to add texture and traditional pattern underfoot. Homeowners can place the rug on wooden or carpeted flooring to anchor furniture arrangements while introducing warm tones and classic textile craftsmanship to everyday interior spaces.

FAQs

Persian Bijar rugs originate from the town of Bidjar in northwestern Iran, renowned for their exceptionally thick weave, heavy wool construction, and rigid structure often described as the iron rugs of Persia.

Traditional Persian rugs are constructed using high-grade hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic Bijar rugs are characterised by their dense, heavy pile created through double-wefting, stiff backing, geometric medallion designs, and high node counts visible on the reverse side.

A geometric Persian rug serves as an anchor in contemporary, transitional, or traditional rooms, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture, neutral tones, or natural timber finishes.

Vacuum the rug regularly without a rotating brush bar, rotate it periodically to ensure even wear, address liquid spills immediately with a dry cloth, and seek specialist rug cleaning services when required.
