Small Persian Bidjar rug in saturated color palette.  100% wool.  Semi-antique (50-75 yrs), this piece hand-knotted in a traditional Bidjar design is in excellent condition with full thick pile  Bijar (Bidjar) carpets are renowned for their superb artistry, craftsmanship, and excellent material, and can be distinguished by their heavy wool foundation. As the weaver tied each row of knots, she added an extra weft and literally pounded down the knots. The stiff, heavy foundation that is thus created allows antique Bijar (Bidjar) carpets, known as “the iron rugs of Persia,” to withstand up to 200 years of heavy use..
