About Persian Bidjar Rugs

Persian Bidjar rugs originate from the Kurdish town of Bidjar in northwestern Iran and are famed for their remarkable durability and tight weave. Known as the “Iron Rugs of Persia,” Bidjars are constructed using a wet-weft technique that compresses the wool for an exceptionally dense and heavy pile. Design-wise, they often feature central medallions, intricate borders, and repeating field patterns such as the Herati—a timeless motif composed of diamond shapes surrounded by floral elements and curled leaves. Their lasting structure and detailed artistry make Bidjar rugs a favorite among collectors and decorators alike.

Unique Characteristics of this Bidjar Rug

This 1950s Bidjar rug stands out for its crisp execution of the Herati pattern across the red field, creating a layered visual rhythm that draws the eye inward to the striking navy central medallion. The combination of saturated colors and meticulous knotting speaks to the rug’s high quality and enduring craftsmanship. Its compact size makes it a perfect accent piece for foyers, reading nooks, or under a side table.
