Bidjar Iran Rug 168 X 99 Cm

Iranian Kurdistan wool rug, cotton warp and weft, circa 1950. Very good condition.

Elegant bidjar in zaronim format, with a floral motif on a vanilla background. It consists, in its field, of a central medallion and four matching spandrels. All around, two small herati (flower) borders surround a larger border with 'samovar' (turtle motif) and 'boteh' motifs. Tending to become rare.
Note: asymmetry in the central medallion. The colors are more pastel on one side.

Bidjars 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.
The rugs from bidjar and the surrounding villages are made with the turkbaff knot (double knot) and are renowned for their great resistance to wear. A traditional bidjar rug has 3 to 5 rows of weft threads. In addition, the quality of the wool and the weave make these rugs virtually indestructible. They are called 'iron rugs'.
