Called the Iron rug of Persia they have an odd feature that few other rugs can match. The densely packed pile is so tight that the pile cannot lay down. Because the fibers are constantly erect when you step on the rug it has a cushioned feel that makes it great to walk upon. For the large segment of the market for whom tactile qualities are important this is a compelling feature even if barely one in one thousand could ever explain why. In between Iranian City and the less sophisticated village and tribal rugs are the rugs of Bidjar. Prized for their sturdy construction and durability Bidjar rugs are one of the most sought after furnishings rugs particularly in the American market. Now as the market matures the very nature of Bidjar are changing into two distinct rugs, the new Bidjar and the old Bidjar. The old Bijar tends to be coarser then the new. Bijar rugs have two wefts. Traditionally the wefts were wool, The first weft is substantially thicker then the second and it was inserted damp and pounded in compressing the rug and separating the warps. This would create a warp offset of about 85 to 90 degrees thus putting the warps on two separate plains. The second weft is thinner and holds the warps firmly in place. The first wool weft is rather unusual. It is thick sometimes almost pencil thick and has a high degree of twist. This makes it a very strong rigid weft. Sometimes the sinuous weft will have two singles causing some people to say that old Bijar rugs have three wefts. Just remember that tow singles in one shed are still one weft. The runner that we are offering here is a very unusual Bidjar, because it is woven with Seychor pattern(Seychor is a Caucasian rug and this pattern is the most common one in Seychor rugs), beautiful nice ivory border along with fabulous geometric bold design. IT is made of wool on wool foundation and is in fantastic shape for being almost 90 years old. As you probably know it is hard to find the long antique Persian runner specially in Bidjars, because they do not come very often. A runner such as this one goes arms and legs at any high end retail shops, but here you have an excellent opportunity to get this one at the reasonable price, because is offered at the minimum starting bid of $2999.00.
