Bijar is a small Iranian town in the Kurdistan. The town is quite fertile and has been named after the abundance of willow trees in the area. Bijar Rugs are amongst the strongest of all Persian weaves and they have earned an international reputation for their high quality.
The construction of Bijar rugs is superior to most other weaves and the rugs are incredibly heavy. They are sometimes referred to as ‘the carpets of steel’. Bijar rugs are incredibly heavy and stiff weaves and are virtually indestructible. In order to weave the extremely compacted rug, weavers adopt a unique weaving method often referred to as the wet loom technique. During this special weaving process both the wool and warp and weft are kept damp, enabling the weavers to weave a highly compacted rug. For every horizontal line of knots there are four to five weft cords. These cords are tightly beaten together with a claw like instrument. The result is an extremely tightly woven, heavy rug, which will last a lifetime.
For a classic living layout, place the rug in the centre of the room and place the front legs of your sofa and armchairs on the rug. This will help create a better aesthetic and cleaner appearance.
For those who don’t want a large rug but still want a warm underfoot when getting out of bed, we recommend a round or runner rug to place at either side of the bed.
For high traffic, spill-risk areas like the dining area, we recommend a low-pile rug and easy-to-clean material like polypropylene for a rug.
