Bidjar Rug

This is a Bidjar rug designed in the 19th century from the Bidjar region, also known as Bijar, which is a region in northwestern Iran known for producing some of the finest and most durable rugs in the world. During the 19th century, Bidjar rugs gained prominence and were in high demand. They were favored by royalty, aristocrats, and affluent individuals for their superior quality and exquisite designs. Bidjar weavers during this period mastered the art of creating intricately detailed rugs with rich colors and elaborate patterns. One of the notable characteristics of Bidjar rugs from the 19th century is their dense pile and sturdy construction. The weavers used a special double-knot technique, known as the "Bidjar knot," which contributes to the rug's exceptional durability and long-lasting nature. These rugs were made to withstand heavy foot traffic and were often used in palaces and grand residences. The designs of 19th-century Bidjar rugs varied, but common motifs included intricate floral patterns, geometric shapes, and intricate medallions. The color palette consisted of rich jewel tones, such as deep blues, vibrant reds, earthy browns, and lush greens. The precision and attention to detail in the weaving process resulted in beautifully balanced and harmonious compositions. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers, and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.
