Persian Bijar 7x24

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 its 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 of getting into the rug's pile, resulting in a longer lifespan.

Often featuring the Herati or Mahi (fish) pattern, the Bijar motifs are very distinguishable from other Persian rugs. Despite also being known for rich color combinations, the most telling trait of beautiful craftsmanship is strength and durability. This particular runner Bijar displays a central arrowed shape, drawing the eyes to the center of the piece filled with the intricately designed Herati motif.
