This antique circa 1900 Bidjar rug is a hand-knotted Persian masterpiece with an expansive all-over Herati-inspired field in softened terracotta, blue gray, ivory, and charcoal. Its finely articulated floral and geometric motifs, layered guard borders, and time-softened wool pile create the substantial, collector-grade presence for which Kurdish Bidjar weaving is prized. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or library.
Faded warm tones of terracotta, blue gray, ivory, rust, coral, charcoal, taupe, and sage, with a blue gray field.
Bidjar is a Kurdish town in northwestern Iran, renowned for producing what are often called the "iron rugs of Persia" — the heaviest, most densely woven and structurally rigid pile rugs in the world. The distinctive construction technique, in which the weft threads are hammered tightly into place during weaving, creates an almost board-like stiffness and an exceptionally dense pile that wears virtually indefinitely.
Bidjar designs include elaborate herati patterns, large floral medallions, and the distinctive "garden" or vase carpet format. Their palette tends toward deep jewel tones — rich madder reds, indigos, and ivory. Bidjar rugs are ideal for high-traffic areas and are among the most durable of all Oriental rugs.
