Bibikabad Beauty — a Big Deal, Literally and Figuratively.
Here’s one for the books. Handwoven in the 1920s by the women of Bibikabad, this oversized Persian rug is the kind of piece you just don’t see every day — and definitely not in this condition.
Let’s talk about that field: a garden of Mina Khani glory. That sensational floral lattice design sprawls across a soft ivory base, dotted with a medley of rosettes, star-like blossoms, and quatrefoil blooms, all linked like a trellis of tangled poetry. These flowers are forever — preserved in vegetable-dyed wool that’s held its color beautifully through the decades.
The wool is healthy and well-aged, and the design is a dream to style with — that balanced allover pattern makes it an easy fit in both classic and contemporary spaces.
And then there’s that border: bold, graphic, full of movement and abrash magic. Color shifts ripple like watercolor from section to section, giving the whole rug a heartbeat.
This gem came from the collection of a well-known collector who only hoarded the good stuff (respect), and it shows. It’s clean, the edges are solid, and the wool is thriving. A true survivor with elegance and presence — ready for its next chapter.
You want soul? Legacy? Scale? She’s got it all.
Check out the clip to see this beauty in motion — the flow, the flowers, the full effect.
