Antique Bidjar Rug

19th century

Sold by Farnham Antique Carpets

Description

A very fine and intricate pattern on this late 19th century antique Bidjar rug. Woven with a classical Herati design in the red main field and wonderful flowing border design in deep blue. In very good order all over for a rug of this age. Gorgeous pale blues have been used in the minor border and pattern to great effect, lifting the whole 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.
