Antique Bidjar Kelleh

Description
An exceptional, early antique Bidjar kelleh, dating from circa 1880-1890 the weave is extremely fine indeed. This amazing large corridor carpet has a small scale all over Herati design, which in early carpets from the 16-17th century depicted two fish swimming around a water-lily. Rugs in the 18th-19th century had this design stylised which resembles two leaves around a flower. The border designs are stunning with amazing natural colours, soft terracotta/pinkish tones, with minor ivory borders, they work well with the main field colour. Deep dark blues for the background which almost change to black in places and vibrant reds, oranges and hints of purple for the design.
Condition is really fabulous, with a wonderful soft wool pile and no significant restoration, some preservation to the ends and sides, as you would expect on a carpet dating over 140 years old.
If you would like to request a home or showroom visit we can show you this outstanding Bidjar carpet in person. We travel all over the UK helping customers and interior designers find beautiful carpets for homes, plus our barn showroom is open Monday to Saturday by appointment only.
Rugs from Bidjar are very tough due to their structure which consists of usually five weft threads, two are loose wool threads followed by one taut cotton thread, then a further two loose wool threads. These are tightly beaten together against the knots, creating an extremely tight, compact rug. They tend to be floral in design, with the ‘Herati’ fish design commonly used in the main field and border or the ‘Mina-Khani’ floral design all over as in this example.
We offer the professional service of viewing any of our rare antique carpets & modern rugs in-situ by appointment or you are very welcome to visit our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey. By requesting a home visit, you can choose a convenient day and time to see this exceptional rare Bidjar kelleh.
