Fine Antique Garrus Bidjar Oriental Rug Palace Size Calyx Allover Pattern 1870

Description: Breathtaking Antique Bidjar Carpet with an oversized allover calyx design. This beautiful Garrus Bidjar dates from the 1870 time period is entirely wool construction (warp, weft, pile) and measures a generous 11' 4" wide and 18' 3" - 18' 11" long - irregular length as one would expect. Created with vegetable dies, the pattern is sometimes called the calyx design, this carpet is drawn in an oversized format making it particularly successful. Striking broad border consisting of 5 minor borders with the outermost done in a delightful yellow. Powerful dark indigo field allows the pattern and colors to pop. This is an estate rug and has not been restored, repaired or altered allowing the new owner the option to make that decision. The condition is very good for a hundred and fifty year old floor covering. These are my observations regarding condition, evenly low pile in the center with faint indication of the foundation (never touched up), very minimal scattered mothing (no large areas and not down to the foundation), one repair, a couple stitches on an edge, smaller than a quarter hole or poke thru, a few very old pile re-knots, end wear/loss to guard border, needs a bath, no stained areas or smells just dirt and a few small spots. A wonderful carpet I feel privileged to own, it is being sold because my sister is coming to stay and she has a dog. Not a rug dealer, just appreciate beautiful objects; everyone who has seen this carpet comments how attractive it is. This is a quality carpet that is highly collectible with a dominating presence. Please ask any questions, I will answer to my best ability. I will assist in shipping according to the buyer's preference. Located in Rochester New York.
