BIJAR (Bidjar), Northwest Persian 13' 2" x 18' 5", 401cm x 561cm, 22.4m, Late 19th Century (Connoisseur-Caliber) A regal, yet welcoming, oversize Bijar (Bidjar) antique Persian carpet with extraordinary craftsmanship, vibrant blues and very intricate, chiseled designs. Its ivory ground is prized and rare, especially in a carpet of great size. At over 120 years old, this oriental carpet is still in excellent condition. The characteristic feature of Bijar carpet is the dense structure of these carpets.Their texture is such that they cannot be folded. In the early stages of the carpet trade, such carpets were called "lol". This word indicates the excessive strength of Bijar carpets.To produce this carpet, which is as strong as a board, a very thick fabric is inserted into the carpet fabric in addition to one or two thin fabrics.This operation is repeated alternately on the fabric of the carpet. As the carpet knots are pounded by the iron shoulder, the texture of the carpet becomes much stronger. The role of carpets in this area mostly includes regular designs, and compared to its rural type, it has softer lines and more natural motifs.In these designs, classical Iranian motifs are enlarged and seen alongside maps influenced by rural and tribal models.These rugs, which have a special charm and attraction, have a delicate texture and the originality and simplicity of their design and color are evident.
