Handmade Antique Bijar Kilim Rug 1920s 226 x 127cm (7.4′ x 4.2′)

This antique Bijar kilim features the Golfarang design, an intricate all-over floral pattern known for its balance, rhythm, and quiet elegance. Woven around 1920, it reflects a time when kilims were created as functional art meant to be lived with, not replicated. The surface is filled with finely drawn floral forms, repeated across the field in a calm, measured layout. Deep blue and soft red tones sit comfortably against beige highlights, creating a palette that feels rich yet understated. The design carries movement without excess, making it visually engaging while remaining refined. Unlike heavier carpets, this flat-woven kilim has a lighter presence, allowing the detail of the pattern to take centre stage. The weave is precise and confident, showing the hand of an experienced maker and a tradition where quality mattered more than speed. Well-suited to a sitting room, study, or bedroom, this piece works equally well as a floor covering or a decorative statement. It brings texture, history, and quiet character to a space, an object with a past, and a presence that feels considered rather than decorative. This is a one-of-a-kind textile, shaped by time and use, and valued today for its authenticity and design integrity.
