About the Item

A striking and rare find, this oversized 19th century Persian Bidjar rug is a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Persian weaving traditions. Featuring a classic medallion design with a refined Herati geometric pattern, this antique rug showcases a captivating interplay of rich red and abrash French blue field colors—hallmarks of Bidjar’s renowned aesthetic. At the heart of the composition lies a navy medallion, adorned with intricate geometric motifs in ivory, green, pink, and brown. Delicate “Ram Horn” extensions in baby blue add an eye-catching detail, symbolizing strength and protection in Persian design. Surrounding the medallion, the Herati pattern is beautifully executed in burgundy with accents in soft pinks, yellows, blues, greens, and cream, creating a harmonious and balanced composition. The corner spandrels, also in abrash French blue, echo the rug’s refined symmetry, while the border—rendered in deep French blue and red—features traditional floral and vine elements in jewel tones of blue, pink, green, and yellow. Despite its age of over a century, this exceptional piece retains its elegant charm and character, with a gracefully worn, low pile that reflects its storied history and continued grace. A true collector’s piece, this rug brings timeless sophistication and authentic cultural heritage to any refined interior.

19th Century Persian Heriz Karajah Area Rug
Located in Barrington, IL
A beautifully preserved antique Heriz Karajeh area rug, handwoven in Northwest Persia circa the late 1800s. This piece features a refined geometric layout with three small medallions aligned vertically along the central axis, set against a deep navy blue field. The medallions display a striking palette of abrash-dyed blue, ivory, and pale green, surrounded by traditional tribal motifs in soft rust, sage green, and ivory tones. The main border, rendered in a rich rust-red, frames the central composition with balance and warmth. Notable for its fine weaving technique and thoughtfully restrained color palette, this rug reflects the transitional qualities of late 19th-century Karajeh craftsmanship—blending tribal boldness with refined elegance. This collectible piece is ideally suited for smaller spaces or as an anchor in layered interior schemes, offering heritage, charm, and visual sophistication.
