This elegant antique Bijar runner from West Iran is a testament to the famed durability and artistry of the Bijar weaving tradition. Often referred to as the “steel carpets” of Iran, Bijars are celebrated for their dense weave and long-lasting construction, and this piece lives up to that reputation.

The unusual deep blue field provides a striking backdrop for a thoughtfully arranged floral design, lending the rug a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. Framing this is a delicate apricot border, adorned with stylised flower heads that soften the composition with a warm, decorative charm.

Woven on an all-wool foundation with naturally dyed, handspun wool, this rug combines texture, colour, and strength in a way only true antique Bijars can. Despite its age, the runner remains structurally sound with an even low pile and minor signs of wear, which are not only consistent with its age but also add to its authentic, lived-in beauty. These signs of age are reflected in the price, offering excellent value for collectors or decorators seeking an antique with character and resilience.

Its narrow and long format makes it ideal for corridors, entrances, stair landings, or even alongside a bed or kitchen island, bringing warmth and Persian heritage to any space.
