What is the Bidjar carpet?

Bidjar Rug is a type of woven Persian carpet made in the regions of modern Iran since 2011 and concentrated around the northwestern city of Bijar. Bijar's inhabitants identify themselves as part of ethnic Kurdistan, which stretches into the northern Iraq and parts of Syria and Turkey, and their inheritance has been watching for several thousand years in this area. The unique features of the Bidjar art art from the surrounding region have gained the reputation of the "Iran's iron carpets" because it is known that the material is very heavy, strong and durable. Bidjar rug knots are beaten during weaving to become a thick fabric, and the displayed patterns move from simple shapes to very sophisticated, often dominated deep shades of red. It is believed that Persian rugs are produced by Kurdish natives in the Takab region along the far northern north of the border of Iran or from the nomadic Afshars who came from the city north of Tehran named after them, but also filled the Takab area. When the Bidjar carpet is referred to as Gerusi or Bijari The carpet expresses the work of an ethnic Kurdish group that lives in this area and differs from its Kurdish neighbors in the wider East in the Middle East.

Kurdish carpets have changed over time and Bidjar's carpets are no different. Older rugs are more often woven from wool, although sometimes some of the cotton are, because many of them are now. The tangle or binding is more tightly made, but larger knots, giving antique rugs to arrange wide patterns with distinctive colors of red, blue and yellow. Their modern counterparts have much more complicated patterns for them. Newer versions of the carpet also tend to have a thinner link that is reduced by the main features of the Bidjar Rug trademark.

Antique versions of the carpet are known that they are coarser, causing the pile physically stood up, and it is such a heavy binding that the carpets cannot be turned or easily folded. TeNto dense material gave them a padding effect when it bounced quickly, and it is a feature for which they have become widely known. This brought them a reputation as a resistant person who cannot be easily compressed or damaged.

The original version of Bidjar Rug has found a permanent market in the US in the US, and newer versions have tried to maintain their perception as a quality work of art by enhancing the original designs. Over the past 50 years, the carpets have become finer and thinner, with the number of nodes per square inch rising up to 300. This allows much finer geometric patterns than in the past existed, with the addition of many floral works that were not traditionally dominant in carpets. Thinking common features, such as pink roses in carpets in recent years at the beginning of the 21st century, was an attempt to sell them directly to the female side of the international market.
