About the Item

Offering a stunning Antique Persian Bijar carpet, a true collector’s piece with rich history and enduring beauty. Known as the "Iron Rugs of Persia," Bijar carpets are celebrated for their exceptional durability and dense weave, making them both artistic treasures and functional heirlooms. This particular piece features: Classic allover design – timeless and balanced, perfect for both traditional and eclectic interiors. Ivory ground – brightens any space with a refined, neutral foundation. Light blue border – rare and elegant, providing soft contrast and drawing the eye inward. Very good condition for its age – well-preserved with strong pile, clean edges, and vivid dyes. Bijar carpets hail from the Kurdish weavers of Bijar in northwest Iran. Their signature tightly-packed knotting technique (often using a wet loom) creates an incredibly sturdy, almost stiff rug that resists wear and rippling over time—making it ideal for high-traffic areas while still offering the intricate beauty of fine Persian craftsmanship. Likely dating to the late 19th Century, this carpet speaks to a long tradition of artisan skill, with hand-spun wool and natural dyes that have aged beautifully. Whether you’re a collector or simply someone who appreciates heritage textiles, this Bijar offers both beauty and legacy. All Inquiries welcome – happy to provide additional information.
