Persian Bijar 9x13

Often referred to as the "Iron Rug of Iran", the Persian Bijar was woven predominantly by Kurds in the Gerus and Afsha areas of Iran. Known for their firm knotting, the weave of a Bijar rug can be so firmly compressed that it will remain vertical. Because the rugs are knotted with the traditional Turkish knot, dirt particles have less of a chance getting into the pile, resulting a longer lifespan.

Often featuring the Herati or Mahi (fish) pattern, the Bijar motifs are very distinguishable from other Persian rugs. Despite being known for rich color combination, the most telling trait of the beautiful craftsmanship is the strength and durability. This semi-antique Bijar displays the Herati motif with geometric precision.
