A Bijar classic carpet 150826 236x175cm

Bijar carpets are world-famous as the "Iron Rug" for their extraordinary compactness and exceptional durability. The Kurdish weavers who create these rugs use the finest quality wool, cultivated in their mountainous environment. Due to the cold climate, the wool fibres in the region grow long and naturally rich in oils, making them both strong and lustrous. A Bijar rug is a once-in-a-lifetime investment, serving generations and evolving into a treasured heirloom with time and use.

This carpet features one of the most renowned designs of the region—the Herati, named after the city of Herat, where it was first conceived centuries ago. It is also known as the "Fish" design, inspired by the small motifs symbolising fish, an emblem of vitality and positive energy.

Hand-knotted with high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, this piece is a testament to enduring craftsmanship.
