Antique Bidjar Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB9186 11'8" × 15'4" $65,000

This antique Persian Bidjar rug, circa 1900, reflects the sturdy weaving tradition of northwestern Persia and the disciplined craftsmanship for which Bidjar carpets are prized. Hand-knotted in wool, it carries the dense, durable character associated with these collectible antique rugs.

The sand beige field is animated by an allover botanical lattice, where curling teal vinework loops around clusters of deep red blossoms. Rather than a single medallion, the composition repeats across the surface, creating rhythmic movement and a sense of refined abundance. The floral trellis feels ordered yet lively, with small details that reward close looking and lend the piece a calm, tapestry-like presence.

An assertive border in teal and brick red frames the design with palmettes, angular florals, and scrolling accents, adding architectural structure to the softer field. The restrained base color lets the richer notes of crimson, warm taupe, and muted blue-green stand out, making this antique Bidjar well suited to interiors that need pattern, warmth, and historical depth without overwhelming the room.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery’s longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
