It dates back to the 1960s/70s and is classified as vintage. The condition is very good, with original fringes and perfect side bindings, showing only minor signs of age.

Care Instructions
Care is straightforward: use a regular vacuum cleaner and consider professional carpet cleaning if necessary. Chemical cleaning should be avoided. For additional protection, we recommend using a suitable rug pad.

The Art of Hand-Knotting
The tradition of carpet weaving is thousands of years old. During production, knots are tied into vertically stretched warp threads and stabilized by horizontally woven weft threads. The pile created by the knots gives the carpet its durability.

Knot Density as a Quality Feature
Knot density is a crucial quality criterion that says a lot about the labor invested in making the carpet. A carpet with a higher knot density requires more effort and is therefore often more valuable.

Age Designations for Carpets
In the market, you will find carpets from various eras. Carpets aged 0-20 years are considered new, 20-50 years as vintage, 50-100 years as old, and over 100 years as antique. A well-maintained old carpet can remain in nearly new condition even after decades. Antique carpets, like this Bidjar carpet, are not only timeless works of art but also stylish accents in modern interiors. They are unique pieces that make a statement of style awareness.
