25025-Antique Bidjov Rug-150x100cm

$0.00
sold out

Origin: Caucasus

Date: Mid-19th century

Dimensions: 150 × 100 cm

Description:

This striking mid-19th-century Bidjov rug shows all the hallmarks of early Caucasian weaving. The large, boldly drawn palmettes and the saturated, glowing palette immediately signal age, while the compact format and powerful, ascending composition add to its tribal character. The main border of rosettes—crisp and spacious—is another clue to its early origin.

Perhaps most telling is the background: alternating black and blue knots, known in the trade as the “salt and pepper” effect, a feature strongly associated with older examples from this region. Altogether, these elements mark the piece as an early and collectible Bidjov, full of energy, color, and authentic village artistry.
