Antique Bidjar Rug

19th century
Description

Late 19th century antique Bidjar rug, classical Herati design in the main field and wonderful tribal border motifs.  In very good order all over for a rug of this age.  Woven with a natural wool ivory border this lightens the rugs palette.  The famous 'Herati' design is the pattern we see in the main field, which consists of two stylised leaves around a flower.  In the 16th century this used to be two fish swimming around a water-lily.  A great antique rug in wonderful condition, professionally washed and supplied with our sturdy anti-slip rug underlay.

Rugs from Bidjar are very tough due to their structure which consists of usually five weft threads, two are loose wool threads followed by one taut cotton thread, then a further two loose wool threads. These are tightly beaten together against the knots, creating an extremely tight, compact rug. They tend to be floral in design, with the 'Herati' fish design commonly used in the main field and border or the 'Mina-Khani' floral design all over as in this example.

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire the UK & Europe by appointment.  Request a home visit to see this beautiful antique Bidjar rug in-situ.

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

Bidjar rugs originate from the Kurdish town of Bidjar in northwestern Persia, established as a prominent weaving centre producing dense textiles throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

These carpets are crafted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton or wool foundation, utilising heavy double-warp construction beat tightly into place.

Authentic examples are distinguished by their exceptional weight, rigid structural feel, dense knotting, and rich palette derived from natural plant and insect dyes.

Designers frequently position these patterned floor coverings over polished timber or stone floors to anchor living areas, dining spaces, or studies alongside tailored upholstery.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, rotating the textile annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, and securing professional cleaning when necessary.
