Heritage and Craftsmanship

Known as the "iron rug of Persia," Bijar carpets are celebrated for their exceptional durability and precise construction. The distinctive weaving techniques used in this northwestern Persian region create pieces with remarkable density and structure. These rugs represent the height of Persian workshop craftsmanship, where technical excellence meets artistic sophistication.

Design Elements

This exemplary Bijar features the meticulous detail and formal composition that distinguish rugs from this prestigious weaving center. The crisp Herati pattern, deeply saturated field, and multi-framed borders reflect workshop-level precision and artistry. The balanced medallion layout with its bold contrasts creates a powerful visual presence that commands attention while maintaining classical proportions and refined elegance.

Placement

The 8' 0'' x 11' 2'' dimensions make this rug ideal for formal living rooms, studies, or dining areas. Its rich burgundy palette with slate blue and ivory accents creates a sophisticated foundation for traditional interiors or spaces seeking a dramatic focal point. The structured design provides architectural presence that works particularly well with classical furnishings and defined room layouts.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the rug's beauty:

  • Rotate periodically for even wear

  • Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting

  • Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing

  • Professional cleaning recommended annually

  • Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity

Persian Bijar rugs represent the pinnacle of classical carpet weaving traditions. Their formal beauty and exceptional craftsmanship create statements of enduring elegance that bring architectural presence and historical resonance to contemporary interiors.
