Bidjar Iran Rug 170 X 113 Cm

Carpet from Iranian Kurdistan (western Iran) kurk wool (fine lamb's wool), cotton warp and weft, circa 1930. Very good condition. Strong and durable mat.

Beautiful traditional bidjar in zaronim format, with patinated colors, consisting of the 'mahi' (diamond) pattern. The main border uses the elegant 'Göl farang'* pattern and is framed by two smaller borders with 'herati' flower motifs. Some abraches (term designating a variation of tones in the same color) on this authentic bidjar.
*Göl farang: “roses from France”. The influence comes from the Damascus rose whose rose motif inspired Safavid rugs, which in turn influenced European tapestries. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the göl farangi motif which means rose or flower of France is found in the Orient on carpets and kilims from Karabakh (Caucasus), on certain Iranian carpets such as bidjars and bakthiars from the village of Faradoumbeh, as well as on Moldovan kilims from the Balkans.
Bidjar rugs are held in high esteem, due to their great robustness and resistance to wear. These are rugs appreciated by enthusiasts because of their authenticity and their typically Persian charm. They are made with the turkbaff knot (double knot) and are renowned for their great resistance to wear. A traditional bidjar has 3 to 5 rows of weft threads. In addition, the quality of the wool and the weaving make these rugs virtually indestructible. They are called 'iron carpets'.
