The History and Legacy of Bidjar Rugs

Bidjar rugs, often revered as the "Iron Rugs of Persia," originate from the Kurdish-populated region of Bidjar in Northwest Iran (Kurdistan Province). This weaving tradition dates back to at least the 16th century.

Legendary Durability: Bidjar rugs are renowned for their exceptional strength and longevity, able to withstand centuries of heavy use.

Unique Weaving Technique: Their incredible toughness stems from a unique method where the weaver uses the Turkish (symmetrical) knot and inserts dampened weft strands, which are then pounded down tightly against the knot rows. This results in an extraordinarily dense, heavy, and firm foundation.

Design & Motifs: The designs are typically bold and intricate, often featuring classic Persian patterns such as the Herati (fish) design, large medallions, or all-over floral motifs, executed in rich, jewel-toned color palettes of deep reds, blues, and ivory.

Cultural Significance: Woven by skilled Kurdish artisans, this rug is not merely a floor covering but a formidable work of art, representing a centuries-old tradition and a powerful cultural heritage.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of weaving history, known globally for its density, resilience, and captivating artistry.
