Bidjar
The antique Persian Bidjar carpet, known as the ‘Iron Rug’ of Persia, is an extremely dense woven oriental carpet from Kurdistan in the north of Iran. The tight weave of antique Bidjar rugs makes them exceptionally strong and durable for use in heavily trafficked areas. This strength and resilience make them a favorite in traditional country interiors where the prevalent palette of navy blue, cherry red, brown, light blue, pink, yellow, ocher, beige and ivory in antique oriental rugs are the perfect companions to American or English furniture. Antique Bidjar rugs tend to display time-honored Persian formats with an emphasis on bold medallions, spandrels, repeating arabesques, dramatic borders; often utilizing repeated herati patterns of flowers centered within diamonds, with four curled leaves that resemble fish issuing from each diamond. It is in the lush wool quality, unusually saturated coloration and playful interpretation of well-known designs that antique Persian Bidjar carpets excel.
