Persian Rugs Bijar (Bidjar) Carpet A very dense hard pile, cut medium to high, though old and antique finely woven pieces tend to be clipped lower.Warp is of cotton or, less frequently, goat's wool. Weft is cotton and both warp and weft yarn is tightly spun. In old and antique pieces, warp and weft are of wool.The majority of Bijar (Bidjar) rugs have Turkish knots. However, Persian knotted pieces are also found. Bijar carpets and rugs are beautiful and there is a high demand for them, so a nice BIJAR is more expensive than similar carpets from the surrounding area. Bijar city is one of the fertile areas of Kurdestan. Its climate is cold and dry in winter and moderate in summer. In the Kurdish language, the willow tree is called 'Bi' and an area of such trees is called a 'Bijar'-- the region of willows-so named because of the abundance of willow trees,.Although the small Kurdish town of Bijar (Bidjar) in the province of Kermanshah has hardly ten thousand inhabitants, the high quality of its carpets has gained it an international reputation. Concern for this reputation for high quality led to a clear distinction being made between the products of the Bijar (Bidjar) town workshops and the Tekab-Bijar, which are woven by an Afshari tribe that settled in the area. Bijar rugs have a very unique weave that uses
the symmetrical Turkish knot and double weft compacted very tightly,
thus making them heavy and durable rugs. The characteristic weft technique
used in the Kurdish Bijar (Bidjar) area gave rise to the term Bijar
(Bidjar) structure. The strong tension of the weft pulls the warp into
two layers, giving the carpet a certain rigidity. Though strong, if
handled carelessly or folded, it will crack and tear.
