Intricately woven with accents in ivory, rose, cobalt blue, and soft red, the design is framed by a striking rust-red primary border adorned with geometric motifs in cream, pink, and yellow.

Celebrated worldwide as the 'Iron Rugs of Persia,' Bidjar rugs are among the most durable and densely constructed carpets ever made, their remarkable weight and tightness the result of a unique wetting technique employed during weaving by Kurdish village artisans of the Bidjar region in Northwest Persia. A room-size Bidjar of this early 20th century vintage — with its midnight blue field, classic Herati pattern, and full compressed pile — is an investment in both beauty and permanence that will outlast generations.
