Bidjar Rug

Bidjar rugs are mainly woven in the town of Bidjar and its surrounding villages. Bidjar is located in the province of Kurdistan in northwest of Iran. Bidjar rugs are mostly considered village rugs because whether woven in the town of Bidjar itself or its surrounding villages, they are woven inside houses rather than workshops. The pattern of Bidjar rugs is a combination of curvilinear and geometric with curvilinear being dominant. The favorite colors of Bidjar weavers consist of navy, cherry red, brown, light blue, pink, yellow, ocher, orange, beige and ivory. The symmetrical (Turkish) knot is mainly used although the asymmetrical (Persian) knot is seen as well.
