This attractive vintage Bijar rug from West Iran is a beautiful example of the region’s famously robust weaving tradition. Often referred to as the “steel carpets” of Iran, Bijar rugs are renowned for their tight weave and long-lasting durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas or homes seeking both function and beauty.
This particular piece features a classic Herati design on a rich red field, elegantly anchored by a blue and cream central medallion and accompanying spandrels. The deep, saturated tones have matured beautifully over time, thanks to the use of natural dyes and handspun wool—now soft and shiny with age.
A geometric blue border frames the composition, enhancing the symmetry and giving the piece a timeless, decorative appeal. Whether placed in a study, dining room, or lounge, this vintage Bijar rug brings character, history, and craftsmanship into any space.
