About the Item

This exceptional oversized Persian Bidjar (Bijar) rug, handwoven in the early 20th century, is a rare and highly desirable example of fine Persian weaving, renowned for both its durability and artistry. Known as the "iron rugs of Persia" for their dense construction and exceptional resilience, Bidjar rugs are prized for their ability to withstand generations of use without losing their form or beauty. This particular piece features a striking open-field design in a richly abrash red, lending depth and texture to the composition. The corner spandrels are adorned with classic Herati motifs and accentuated by a nuanced palette of French blue, pink, cream, brown, and yellow. At the heart of the rug lies a commanding navy medallion, surrounded by an intricately jagged-edge border in French blue and yellow that gracefully frames the central field. The rug’s primary border is a true standout—woven in a beautiful abrash French blue and baby blue, it showcases finely executed geometric motifs in pink, green, red, and brown. Complementing this are cream-colored secondary borders featuring patterns in abrash green, adding balance and harmony to the overall design. A masterful blend of color, structure, and sophisticated design, this oversized Bidjar rug is both a luxurious floor covering and a remarkable piece of art, ideal for anchoring large-scale spaces or making a bold statement in curated interiors.

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.
