A one-of-a-kind antique Persian Bijar rug
Bijar refers to a town in the Kurdish region of northwestern Persia (now Iran), historically known for producing some of the most densely woven, structurally heavy wool carpets in the Persian tradition. Bijar rugs are sometimes called the “iron carpets of Persia” because of their characteristic weight and durability — the result of a tightly compressed pile, double-weft foundation, and the wet-weaving practice traditional to the region.
This is an authentic antique example, offered as-is, with the natural patina expected of a Bijar piece of significant age.
