Description
Attractive Vintage Bijar Rug – Red Ground with Blue & Cream Medallion
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.Key Features:

What Our Customers Say About Us?
Everything was perfect - very nice selection of fine and authentic kilims (my interest), shipment to Germany was super fast, contact very friendly. When there was a problem with the mail for one purchase i was constantly informed. And finally also this piece arrived in very good shape.
Robert
A Thoroughly excellent service. Mehdi was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He brought 7 rugs to our home so that we could see them in situ which made the whole process so much easier.
Would definitely recommend Sharif & Co if you are after a carpet or rug.
Nigel Gordon
Friendly and helpful advice without any sales push. I’ve bought two items from this dealer which is quite unusual. I’m very happy with what I bought and would again buy from him. I watch his web site to see what new items come in.
Mr Paul Ackland
As ever, a very kindly, helpful visit by Mehdi Sharafi himself, with all the three pieces I was choosing from. His expertise is always a pleasure to witness! And the item I bought is superb. Payment and the website couldn’t be easier. MANY THANKS!
Mr Last
I was extremely surprised at how quickly the rug arrived, less than 24 hours. The item was exactly as described and pictured. Thank you very much.
Jenny T.
I bought a Heidarian rug online from Sharafi & Co. Their communications were excellent, they arranged delivery very swiftly, and I'm really delighted with the rug, it's beautiful.
