FAQs

Originating from Northwest Persia, Kurdish Bijar rugs are renowned for their heavy, densely packed construction, often referred to as the iron rugs of Persia, featuring distinct central medallions and intricate geometric floral motifs.

These rugs were hand-knotted using high-grade hand-spun wool for the pile, woven onto a thick cotton or wool foundation, utilising natural plant dyes for rich reds, indigo, and creams.

Authentic examples feature exceptionally dense structure created by beating the wet weft threads down, resulting in a heavy feel, sharp pattern resolution on the back, and traditional anchor medallion motifs.

The deep indigo and warm terracotta tones serve as a grounding anchor in contemporary living rooms, classic studies, or entryways, complementing rich timber furniture and neutral stone floors.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush, address spills immediately with cold water and clean cloth, rotate annually to balance wear, and use a suitable underlay on hard floors.
