Bidjar | Exclusive | With Silk

Bidjar rugs come from the town of Bijar in Kurdistan Province, northwest Iran, and are famously known as the "Iron Rugs of Persia." Woven with the symmetrical (Turkish) knot on a cotton foundation with double weft, they undergo a unique wet-weaving technique: the wool is dampened during production and compacted with heavy metal combs, creating an extraordinarily dense, rigid structure.

The most common traditional pattern is the Herati (Mahi) motif, a flower with four leaves and small fish-like elements, often combined with medallion designs. The extreme density means Bidjar carpets cannot be folded, only rolled, and their pile stands firmly upright for decades. This particular piece has been enhanced with luxurious silk accents, lending the rug a subtle luminescence and exceptional tactile quality.
