Bidjar, the namesake of a quaint Kurdish town in western Iran, is renowned for producing what are often referred to as the "Iron Rugs of Iran." The Bijar rugs, in particular, have gained popularity in the United States for their heavy, durable nature. Over time, the Bijar rug has evolved into a finer, thinner, and more Sarouk-like rendition, capturing the essence of elegance and sophistication.
It is worth noting that most Bijar Kurdish carpets are expertly woven by Gerrus Kurds in the Bijar area. Additionally, a refined variation of Bijar carpets is crafted by skilled Afshar weavers residing in the Tekab and Tekkenteppe Area in Gerus, showcasing the diversity of artistic expression within this rich tapestry of Iranian weaving traditions.
Owning this Persian Kurdish Bijar carpet is not just acquiring a piece of decor; it is embracing a piece of history, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Kurdish weavers.
