Bidjar rug

Bidjar rug

Bijar (or Bidjar) Kurdish rugs are often called the Iron Rugs of Iran. The Bijar was a heavy durable rug that has been very popular in the United States. Now the Bijar rug tends to be a finer thinner more Sarouk like rug. Most Bijar Kurdish carpets are woven by "Gerrus" Kurds in the Bijar area while a finer copy of Bijar carpets are woven by Afshar weavers who live in the Tekab and Tekkenteppe Area in Gerus.

Bijar is a town in North-West Iran approximately 45 km from Senneh (Sanandaj)

Nowadays, the Bidjar carpets made in Iran can be put into the following three main categories:

*Traditional Bidjars, f.i. Bidjars with rose motifs.
*Halvai and Tahjavi-Bidjars.
*Afshar Bidjars.
