Bidjar rugs and carpets have long had a mystique that makes them a "man's rug". Called the Iron rug of Persia they have an odd feature that few other rugs can match. The densely packed pile is so tight that the pile cannot lay down. Because the fibers are constantly erect when you step on the rug it has a cushioned feel that makes it great to walk upon. For the large segment of the market for whom tactile qualities are important this is a compelling feature even if barely one in one thousand could ever explain why. In between Iranian City and the less sophisticated village and tribal rugs are the rugs of Bijar.. Prized for their sturdy construction and durability Bidjar rugs are one of the most sought after furnishings rugs particularly in the American market. Now as the market matures the very nature of Bidjar are changing into two distinct rugs, the new Bidjar and the old Bidjar. The old Bijar tends to be coarser then the new. Bijar rugs have two wefts. Traditionally the wefts were wool, The first weft is substantially thicker then the second and it was inserted damp and pounded in compressing the rug and separating the warps. This would create a warp offset of about 85 to 90 degrees thus putting the warps on two separate plains. The second weft is thinner and holds the warps firmly in place. The first wool weft is rather unusual. It is thick sometimes almost pencil thick and has a high degree of twist. This makes it a very strong rigid weft. Sometimes the sinuous weft will have two singles causing some people to say that old Bijar rugs have three wefts. Just remember that tow singles in one shed are still one weft. Now if you have done your homework about Persian Bidjar and ready to buy one or if someone is looking for a phenomenal Persian rug with both decorative and primitive look, the Bidjar that i am offering here could be a right call. Amazingly is in awesome shape for its age, still has a decent pile, without having any wears odor, stain and repair, both ends are intact, cleaned by a professional and ready to be used. It is made of wool on a wool foundation, fabulous Herati pattern, which is the signature of Bidjar rugs, marvelous antique red in main border and different shades of blue in the field, usually this pattern comes with red or salmon in the field and navy in the border, but this combination is so unusual. It measures 4'-3" x 6'-8" and i am offering it at the absolute bargain price of $1,5699.00. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
