This antique Bidjar rug, handmade in Persia and dating to circa 1940, is a one-of-a-kind piece distinguished by its finely drawn all-over floral lattice and softly defined central medallion. The pale ivory field and border are layered with taupe, brown, and subtle blue accents, giving the hand-knotted design an elegant, time-softened character that showcases its intricate craftsmanship and refined decorative balance. An ideal accent for a bedroom, office, or entryway.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, brown, slate, beige, charcoal, and pale blue, with a ivory 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.
