About the Item

Bidjar rugs, also known as Bijar rugs, are a type of hand-woven rug that originated in the town of Bidjar in the Kurdistan region of Iran. They are highly regarded for their exceptional durability, dense pile, and intricate designs. Bidjar rugs are considered among the finest and most resilient rugs produced in Iran. One of the distinguishing features of Bidjar rugs is their dense construction. They are woven with a very high number of knots per square inch, often exceeding 200 knots per square inch (KPSI). This high knot density contributes to their remarkable durability and longevity. Bidjar rugs typically have a thick and heavy pile, which gives them a plush and luxurious feel. The pile is tightly packed, making them resistant to wear and tear. The dense construction and tight knotting also make them highly resistant to dirt and stains. In terms of design, Bidjar rugs often feature intricate floral patterns, geometric motifs, or medallion designs. The color palette is rich and vibrant, with deep reds, blues, and ivory being commonly used. The designs are meticulously woven, and the borders and central medallions are often emphasized with contrasting colors. One of the unique characteristics of Bidjar rugs is their ability to resist bending and folding. This attribute is attributed to the special weaving technique used in their production, known as the "Bidjar knot" or "double-wefted" technique. The weavers tightly pack weft threads around the warp threads, creating a rug that is resistant to pressure and compression. Bidjar rugs are highly sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. They are considered an investment due to their durability and ability to withstand heavy use. The intricate designs and rich colors of Bidjar rugs also make them prized decorative pieces that can enhance the beauty of any interior space.
