Antique Bidjar Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB9206 9'5" × 10'5" $38,000

This antique Bidjar Persian carpet, woven circa 1900, reflects the celebrated weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in a square format. Hand-knotted in wool, it shows the dense, durable character for which Bidjar rugs are admired, while its allover layout gives the piece a formal and adaptable presence.

A warm tan field is animated by an orderly trellis of scrolling teal vines and burgundy floral clusters, creating movement without a single central medallion. The repeat feels rhythmic and balanced, with blossoms scattered across the surface in a pattern that is lively but controlled. This floral composition softens a room’s geometry while still lending clear architectural structure.

A substantial border in burgundy, navy blue, and touches of teal frames the design with additional floral detail, reinforcing its decorative depth. The palette blends earthy warmth with cooler accents, allowing the rug to work beautifully beneath seating groups, in dining rooms, or in interiors that call for an antique Persian rug with both pattern and poise.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
