ABOUT THIS PIECE
Finely Handwoven in the famous weaving centre of Bijar western Persia, from fine local handspun wool on a durable cotton foundation in an iteration of the flower vases design.
Bijar rugs are often to as “Iron rugs”, due to their fine weave and reputation for durability. To produce these carpets, a very thick weft is repeatedly inserted into the carpet foundation in addition to one or two thin wefts. By beating the knots of the carpet with the iron comb, the carpet’s foundation becomes more firm.
The design of Bijar carpets mainly includes orderly motifs, and compared to its rural type; they have softer lines and more natural motifs. classical Iranian motifs are magnified next to the patterns influenced by rural and tribal models. These carpets, which have remarkable charm, have an unexpectedly delicate texture, and originality is evident in their design and colours.
