Caucasian - Bidjov
Bidjov is a town in the Kuba region of the Caucasus, north of Shirvan and west of the Caspian Sea. Bidjov rugs have the same structure as Zeichurs and often employ the running dog main border. By far the most popular design is an ascending array of stylish palmettes in tones of red, green, yellow, light blue and ivory, on an almost universal dark blue ground. The weave is light and think, and the foundation all wool. Black is very corrosive and with pile loss the rugs often look older than they really are. This inherent vice limits the number of Bidjous in good, original condition.
