BIDJAR 292 x 70 cm

Bidjar rugs are an iconic type of Persian rug that originated in the Kurdish city of Bidjar, located in the province of Kurdistan in Iran. The name Bidjar is derived from the Persian word “bid”, which means “strong”. This is an apt description of the rug’s construction, as Bidjar rugs are renowned for their unbeatable strength and durability. Bidjar rugs are woven on a cotton foundation, and can be made of wool, silk or a combination of both. The weavers use a special knotting technique, known as the ‘Bidjar knot’, to produce the rug’s dense and heavy texture. This knotting technique is considered to be one of the strongest and most durable in the world. The designs of Bidjar rugs are usually geometric, and are often symmetrical. They usually feature a variety of repeating motifs, such as diamonds, geometric stars, squares, and hexagons. The rug’s colors range from muted shades of brown and beige, to more vibrant reds and blues. Bidjar rugs have a long history, and have been used for centuries in the Middle East and North Africa. They are highly sought after for their beauty and longevity, and are becoming increasingly popular in western countries. They make an ideal addition to any home, and are sure to be a timeless piece of decor that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

This rug is made of mixed silk and wool with an knot count of 500 000 m2.
