Antique Bidjar Rug 1.94m X 1.26m

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Rug Addiction
Description

A fabulous antique rug, woven in the village of Bidjar circa 1900. The design is based on a Herati pattern but is more loosely interpreted than more rigid, later examples. The lattice of flower heads is interspersed with animal figures and three and a half humans! All this on an abrashed red field surrounded by a beautifully naive ivory border. Lovely secondary colours of pinks and blues and a highly decorative rug.

Size: 1.94m x 1.26m (6ft 4in x 4ft 2in)

This rug is in good condition with moderate even wear, slightly heavier in places (see photos). A small area of naive (and charming!) re-piling in a green serrated leaf in the border, done some time ago and has now faded to a gold colour (see photos). Fringes and selvedges are secure and it has been professionally cleaned.

Free worldwide shipping.

This Persian Bidjar area rug dates from the period around 1900 and is woven from wool and cotton. The central field displays a rich red background patterned with a loose geometric lattice, floral motifs, animal figures, and human figures, complemented by secondary colours of pink, blue, and gold. The composition is enclosed within a cream patterned border featuring the Herati pattern details and a naive ivory border, finished with secure fringes and selvedges, alongside moderate even wear and a small historical repair in a green serrated leaf. The piece measures 194 cm high, 126 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Suitable for placement on the floor in a living room, hallway, or study, this rug suits an English Country House style interior. It provides both floor covering and decorative pattern underfoot, anchoring seating arrangements or warming wooden floorboards with traditional hand-knotted craftsmanship.

FAQs

Bidjar rugs originate from the Kurdish town of Bidjar in northwestern Iran, renowned for their dense weave, heavy structure, and geometric or floral motifs.

They are hand-knotted using wool pile woven tightly onto a heavy cotton or wool foundation, utilising a double-weft technique that creates a stiff, durable fabric.

Authentic Bidjar rugs are recognised by their notable weight and rigidity, high knot density, rich vegetable-dyed wools, and structured central lattice or medallion patterns.

A red Bidjar rug serves as an anchoring centerpiece, introducing rich texture and warm tones beneath neutral contemporary seating or polished timber furniture.

Suction vacuum regularly without using a rotating beater bar, rotate annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, and clean spills immediately with cold water and clean cloth.
