Add regal sophistication to your space with this extraordinary Antique Persian Bijar Rug, hand-knotted in the 1920s. Woven from high-quality wool, this oversized piece features a richly detailed Herati pattern anchored by a diamond medallion and framed by a deep rust-red field. Its intricate vine-like motifs and navy floral borders reflect the density and precision that earned Bijar rugs their reputation for unmatched durability.
Known as the “Iron Rugs of Persia,” Bijar rugs are woven by Kurdish artisans in the Bijar region of northwestern Iran. These carpets are celebrated for their incredibly dense weave, often achieved through a unique wet-packing technique that produces exceptionally durable and heavy rugs. Their patterns typically include repeating Herati motifs, central medallions, and ornate floral borders in deep, earthy palettes. Bijars are particularly prized for their resilience, making them ideal for high-traffic areas while still serving as refined decorative statements.
This particular Bijar carpet stands out for its elongated format and extraordinary craftsmanship. The harmonious balance of colors—rust, navy, sky blue, and sage green—combined with a crisp medallion layout, lends it both structure and elegance. The exceptional condition for its age, paired with its large gallery size, makes it a rare and collectible heirloom for serious rug enthusiasts.

The colors of this rug fit with my decor so well! It’s a gorgeous Persian Tabriz rug, very thick with almost no signs of wear which is amazing for its age.

I love the rug! This was my first time purchasing a Persian carpet online so I was a bit hestitant at first, but I'm very happy I went for it. Jon was very communicative and took the time to answer all of my questions. The rug is even prettier in person, and the photographs were a good representation of the rug. Also my cat seems to love the rug too! Very delighted with the purchase and would definitely recommend Jewel Rugs to others.

These folks are great to deal with. You may be concerned about buying a rug on line but not to worry…our first choice when it arrived the colors in person did not work in the room. Their return policy was great free shipping return as long as you select another rug that we did that was perfect. This was the second rug we have purchased from them. While the rugs are used they have all been in great condition.
Selected this rug from an informative and excellently designed website. The description and photos gave me a good sense of what I was looking at. I purchased the rug securely and without difficulty. The rug arrived packaged very safely and upon opening, it’s absolutely amazing. It is a beautiful, hefty, and well-constructed hand knotted rug. It’s even better than the description Jon wrote! This will be a cherished item in my home for many, many years.
I loved it! Was very pleased with the rug and the service received! Will recommend you!
