Note: The waves you see on the rug will flatten out once the rug is laid out for a few days. They occure because we kept the rug folded. 

This exquisite 9'8 x 12'6 Persian Bijar rug is a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship of Bijar weavers. Known as the "Iron Rugs of Persia," Bijar rugs are celebrated for their exceptional wool quality, durability, and dense knotting that contributes to their hefty weight and robust structure. The rich, deep reds, and intricate designs are characteristic of the Bijar style, which often features medallions, floral motifs, and detailed borders.

The central medallion, resplendent in a cream hue surrounded by a field of deep crimson, acts as a stunning focal point. This is framed by a series of borders, each one meticulously patterned with florals and traditional motifs in a harmonious palette that includes shades of navy, cream, rust, and olive. The rug's larger size is a rare find, as Bijar rugs of this dimension are not easily found, and those that do surface are highly sought after, often commanding prices well above $10,000 USD.

Bijar rugs are not merely floor coverings; they are heirlooms that carry the stories and skills of generations of Kurdish weavers from the town of Bijar in Iran. Each knot is a testament to the weavers' dedication to preserving their cultural legacy, ensuring that each rug is both a piece of art and a piece of history.

This particular Bijar rug, with its grand size, makes a bold statement in any room, promising not only to be the centerpiece of your decor but also a topic of conversation for its beauty, rarity, and craftsmanship.

About Bijar Rugs

Bijar rugs originate from the Kurdish town of Bijar in Iran. They are renowned for their sturdy construction, often woven with a unique technique involving wetting the wool during the weaving process to create a remarkably dense and heavy rug that lies flat and resists folding. The designs of Bijar rugs are often deeply symbolic, with motifs representing fertility, prosperity, and protection. The wool used in these rugs is of the highest quality, hand-spun and dyed with natural materials to produce a vibrant, lasting color. The scarcity of Bijar rugs, especially in larger sizes, coupled with their labor-intensive creation, make them rare and valuable pieces of art.
