Handmade Vintage Bijar Carpet 1960s 311 x 217cm (10.2′ x 7.1′)

This vintage Bijar carpet is a powerful and confident piece, created to last and to be lived with. Bijar rugs are known for their exceptional strength and weight, often described as some of the most durable carpets ever woven. This example reflects that reputation fully, with a dense structure and a firm handle that feels reassuring underfoot. The design centres around a classic Herati pattern arranged neatly around a strong central medallion. The rhythm of small floral motifs gives the carpet depth and movement without feeling busy. Rich red and deep blue tones dominate the field, softened by carefully balanced cream details that bring clarity and structure to the overall design. The wool has aged beautifully, developing a natural sheen that only time can create. The pile remains full and even, showing that this carpet has been well cared for and lightly used. It feels substantial, grounded, and confident, making it ideal for a main living space or dining room where presence matters. This is not a decorative trend piece. It is a carpet chosen for longevity, character, and quiet authority. A true vintage Bijar like this is an investment that carries history, craftsmanship, and lasting value into the present day.
