Bijar is a small Iranian town in the Kurdistan. The town is quite fertile and has been named after the abundance of willow trees in the area. Bijar Rugs are amongst the strongest of all Persian weaves and they have earned an international reputation for their high quality.
The construction of Bijar rugs is superior to most other weaves and the rugs are incredibly heavy. They are sometimes referred to as ‘the carpets of steel’. Bijar rugs are incredibly heavy and stiff weaves and are virtually indestructible. In order to weave the extremely compacted rug, weavers adopt a unique weaving method often referred to as the wet loom technique. During this special weaving process both the wool and warp and weft are kept damp, enabling the weavers to weave a highly compacted rug. For every horizontal line of knots there are four to five weft cords. These cords are tightly beaten together with a claw like instrument. The result is an extremely tightly woven, heavy rug, which will last a lifetime.
