Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 13.00 x 22.08. Known as the Iron Rugs of Iran, Bijar rugs and carpets with their unique weave and double weft are prized for their sturdy construction and durability. Bijar carpet weavers pound the weft strands against the rows of knot repeatedly until the weave becomes extremely compact. The strong tension of the weft pulls the warp into two layers, giving the rug a certain stiffness and rigidity. As a result, Bijar rugs and carpets are dense, heavy, and exceptionally durable.
