This 6'9 x 10 Persian Bijar Rug is a powerful example of traditional Kurdish craftsmanship, known for its exceptional density, durability, and striking geometric presence. Often referred to as the “iron rug of Persia,” Bijar rugs are woven with a uniquely compact structure that gives them unmatched strength and longevity.

Design and Motifs

The design centers around a bold elongated hexagonal medallion, framed by layered geometric fields that radiate outward with rhythmic precision. Repeating floral-geometric motifs fill the surrounding areas, creating a structured yet visually dynamic composition that is unmistakably Bijar.

Border and Framing

A richly ornamented main border surrounds the field, featuring classic Bijar floral rosettes and angular vine elements. Multiple guard borders add depth and visual balance, reinforcing the architectural strength of the overall layout.

Colors and Their Placement

Deep brick red and burgundy dominate the central field and medallion, contrasted by ivory accents that sharply define the geometric patterning. Dark navy, charcoal, muted blues, soft beige, and subtle touches of light blue and sage appear throughout the motifs and borders, creating depth without overpowering the design.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, this Bijar rug is woven using the region’s signature wet-wool technique, resulting in an exceptionally dense and firm pile. The tight construction ensures long-term durability, making it suitable for both formal spaces and high-traffic areas.
