Handmade Vintage Bijar Carpet 1970s 460 x 335cm (15.1′ x 11.0′)

This impressive vintage Bijar carpet is a powerful statement piece, defined by its scale, weight, and enduring presence. Known for their exceptionally dense construction, Bijar carpets are made to last for generations, and this example reflects that legacy with quiet confidence. The design centres around a bold medallion set against a rich red field, balanced by cream and blue detailing. Traditional floral and village motifs are rendered with clarity and structure, giving the carpet a strong visual rhythm without feeling busy. The colours have softened naturally over time, creating depth and warmth rather than brightness. Its tightly packed wool pile gives the surface a firm, substantial feel underfoot—one of the defining traits that makes Bijar carpets so highly regarded. This solidity is matched by elegance, making the rug equally suited to formal dining rooms or refined sitting areas. More than decoration, this is a carpet with presence. It anchors a room, adds gravitas, and carries the quiet authority of a well-made piece that has already stood the test of time.
