Bidjar Camelhair 1533

Early 20th century Persian Kurdish Bidjar gallery rug is finely hand-knotted with camelhair wool.  The design showcases a classic allover paisley (boteh) pattern, symbolizing life and eternity, rendered in harmonious tones of blue, red, and brown. These intricate motifs are evenly distributed across the field, creating a balanced and visually engaging composition that reflects the heritage of Kurdish weaving traditions.

Framing the field are triple narrow borders in contrasting red and blue, adding structure and definition to the design. Subtle accent colors—including yellow, ivory, and touches of purple—enhance the depth and complexity of the palette while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

Known for their dense weave and remarkable longevity, Bidjar rugs are often referred to as the “Iron Rugs of Persia”.  Its gallery (runner-like) proportions make it ideal for hallways, libraries, or long corridors.  Woven using prized camelhair wool, the rug features a warm, natural camel-toned field that highlights its rich texture and organic character.
