Description

Such a pretty pale border on this 140 year old antique Bidjar rug, these were woven in the Kurdish town in West Persia – famous for weaving tough carpets and rugs in varying designs.  This rug uses the ‘Herati’ fish design in the main field and ivory central medallion also known as the ‘Mina-Khani’ floral pattern.  Lovely pale pinks and early green dyes have been used to weave a delightful rug.

In wonderful condition, professionally washed and supplied with our sturdy anti-slip rug underlay.  A tiny few areas of lower pile can be seen but the general order is very good indeed.

Visit our barn showroom soon to see this rug up close and over a 1000 more.  We hold one of the largest collections of antique rugs and contemporary carpets in the UK.

Or by selecting a home visit we shall bring this rug for you to view in situ, along with more rugs if you select alternatives to view too.

. . .

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.
