Bijar, derived from a small Kurdish town in western Iran, has a long history of rug weaving. These rugs, known for their durability and longevity, have garnered popularity, particularly in the United States. While traditional Bijar rugs were heavy and thick, modern variations tend to be finer and thinner, resembling Sarouk rugs.
