Oversized Antique Circa-1890 Sea-Blue Floral Wool Persian Bidjar Rug
About the Item
This antique, circa-1890, Persian Bidjar rug has a shaded sea-blue field with an overall design of fox-brown, light blue and ivory palmettes linked by delicate floral and leafy vine, in a fox-red border of polychrome turtle-palmette and floral vine between ivory, fox-red and light blue floral vine stripes, outer ivory sea-blue palmette vine and plain ivory reciprocal part-lozenge stripes.
Bidjar rugs, sometimes called the "Iron Rugs of Persia," are famous for their incredible durability and dense weaving, making them some of the most resilient Persian rugs. Originating from the town of Bidjar in western Iran, these rugs are known for their compact pile and heavy construction, achieved through a unique weaving technique where the weft threads are tightly packed down with special comb-like tools, often making them thicker and heavier than other Persian rugs.
The designs on Bidjar rugs are typically traditional and intricate, featuring motifs like the Herati (a repeating fish or diamond pattern), floral patterns, and central medallions. These rugs usually come in rich, deep colors—reds, blues, and earth tones being the most popular—that age beautifully over time. A unique quality of Bidjar rugs is that they are woven on both wool and cotton foundations, which further adds to their strength and long-lasting appeal. Because of their construction and quality, Bidjar rugs are highly valued by collectors and decorators who seek pieces that combine artistry with exceptional resilience.
