Bidjar Persian Rugs

Bidjar (Bijar) Handmade Persian Carpets — Rugeast Collection

Bidjar carpet is one of the most durable and tightly-woven Persian rugs available today. Known as the "Iron Rug of Persia," it's built to last. Kurdish artisans in the town of Bijar weave these masterpieces using ancient techniques. Each rug combines art, tradition, and exceptional durability. The dense wool pile and firm knotting structure resist wear and pressure over time. These carpets are ideal for high-traffic spaces in elegant interiors.

Bidjar carpets are famous for their heavy structure and flat surface. They rarely wrinkle or fold, keeping their form for decades. At Rugeast, we offer only authentic handmade versions. Each rug is carefully selected, ensuring top quality and origin authenticity. With deep reds, rich blues, and ivory tones, a Bidjar carpet adds warmth and character to any room.

What Makes Bidjar Rugs Unique?

Bijar rugs are woven in northwestern Iran, mainly by Kurdish tribes. Each knot is compressed using a wet-packing method that creates an unusually tight structure. The wool is thick, naturally dyed, and extremely resilient. Many call it the most "practical" Persian rug ever made. Bidjar carpets often feature medallion designs or all-over patterns like the Herati motif. The borders are strong and geometrically aligned. A typical Bidjar can weigh much more than other rugs of the same size. This makes it lay flat and remain stable under furniture.

Synonyms such as "Bijar rug" and "Kurdish carpet" are often used when referring to these rugs. The value comes from the combination of strong craftsmanship and classical beauty. Designs vary between tribal elements and more urban floral patterns. Some Bidjar pieces also carry tribal symbolism rooted in Kurdish heritage.

Where to Place a Bidjar Rug

The Bidjar carpet is ideal for rooms where both beauty and strength are required. It performs well in high-use areas such as dining rooms and hallways. A large Bijar rug anchors living room furniture, while a smaller one fits well in bedrooms or offices. The thick structure resists indentations from chairs and tables.

In modern interiors, a Bidjar rug balances minimalism with historic charm. In traditional homes, it enhances the classic Persian decor. Whether you have a bohemian, rustic, or luxury style, there's a Bidjar rug to match it.

How to Care for Your Bidjar Carpet

Due to its density, a Bidjar carpet requires only simple care. Vacuum it regularly using suction without rotating brushes. Avoid moisture exposure. Rotate it every few months for even wear. For stains, blot the area with dry cloth, avoiding aggressive rubbing.

Professional cleaning is recommended every few years to maintain color and fiber quality. With proper care, these carpets last for generations and often increase in value over time.
