Bidjar Rug<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bijar has one of the finest weaves of Iran and carpet<\/a> weaving in this area has been a traditional occupation for hundreds of years. Throughout their history, the weavers of Bijar have used up to three and even five wefts in each row of knots. This is a much heavier carpet than the typical Sanandaj style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They should always be rolled instead of folded before being moved. There are various designs in Bijar carpets. Some of the dominant designs are as follows: Botteh, Harati<\/a>, Mina-khani, zell-e-sultan, and Golfarang (flower bouquets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of Bijar carpets is approximately 1.5 to 10 square meters. Runners are relatively rare. All the rugs<\/a><\/strong> of this area have Ghiordes (Turkish) knots and are thick piled. The dominant colors in this region are red, blue, indigo, ivory, and pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
