Bidjar rugs, produced in Northwest Iran are among the finest of Persian rugs by Virtue of their design and technique. They cannot be identified readily by their patterns, for their repertoire is quite rich and varied. They are distinguished by primarily by their weave, which is perhaps the densest and most durable of all oriental rugs. Bidjar carpets were produced in a classical medallion format as well as in all-over designs and pictorial or garden patterns. The quality of their wool is lustrous and soft, the drawing at times classically precise or wildly tribal. Some are attributable to Kurdish weavers living in the Bidjar region.
Known for producing some of the most important Persian rugs, Bijar rug weavers have perfected a style of rug weaving that results in what are called “Iron Rugs.” Bidder weavers are also responsible for the so-called “Man’s Rug.”
Geography plays a tremendous role in the history of the production of antique rugs from Bidjar. See less
