This antique Bidjar rug, hand-knotted in Persia circa 1920, is a one-of-a-kind piece distinguished by its luminous ivory field and finely drawn all-over Herati-style pattern framed by a richly detailed navy and rust border. The floral-geometric design, crisp drawing, and balanced palette give it the refined presence and durable character collectors prize in early 20th-century Persian weaving. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Muted neutral tones of ivory, navy, rust, crimson, slate, taupe, and cobalt, 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.
