About the Item

Oversized Antique Persian Bibikabad Rug Size: 14'4" × 19'2" (436 × 584 cm) A magnificent testament to the artistry of early 20th-century Persian weaving, this oversized antique Bibikabad rug, dating from around 1900, radiates timeless beauty and exceptional craftsmanship. Woven in the famed Hamadan region of northwest Persia, this carpet embodies the sophistication and durability associated with Bibikabad weavings, known for their fine knots and bold, village-inspired designs. The rug’s substantial scale makes it a dramatic centerpiece for grand spaces. The allover Herati pattern—featuring a lattice of stylized rosettes, palmettes, and floral motifs—unfolds in a tightly structured and rhythmic formation across a rich terra cotta field. These vibrant blooms are accented in indigo blue, ivory, and soft beige, delivering visual harmony with earthy warmth and regal contrast. The complex border system frames the field with masterful precision. A striking navy main border, adorned with rosettes and serrated leaf vines, is complemented by multiple narrow guard borders with geometric and floral details, offering a powerful visual counterbalance to the densely patterned field. What sets this rug apart is its palette and textural nuance—the naturally dyed wool exhibits a subtle patina and abrash (intentional color variation), which enriches its visual depth and historical authenticity. The weave is tight, consistent, and resilient—hallmarks of fine Persian village rugs made to endure. This antique Bibikabad carpet is more than a floor covering—it is a living artifact, imbued with cultural significance and traditional elegance. Ideal for collectors, designers, or connoisseurs of Oriental art, it invites admiration and lends sophisticated charm to both classical and contemporary interiors. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
