Bijar (Bidjar) is a city in Northwestern Iran. The town of Bijar (Bidjar) and the surrounding countryside are populated mainly by Kurdish people, whose artistic sense and culture is manifested in the region’s grand antique carpets. Indeed, Bijar (Bidjar) is the center of a major weaving area in Iran and a place to find superbly crafted rugs. Spontaneous, asymmetric antique tribal carpets were woven at the family level throughout the surrounding countryside. The finest of the area rugs crafted in Bijar (Bidjar) are being called “Halvai.” Bijar (Bidjar) carpets are world renowned for their superb artistry, craftsmanship, and excellent material, and can be distinguished by their heavy wool foundation (cotton in twentieth-century carpets). Indeed, antique Persian Bijar (Bidjar) area rugs are known for their stiff, heavy foundation giving them the title “the iron rugs of Persia,”. The Persian and Kurdish rug weavers tied each row of knots and added an extra weft and literally pounded down the knots to withstand up to 200 years of heavy use.
