Originality coupled with the highest technical quality is how one expert
describes the rugs called Bidjar. This originality results from a tradition
of village production combining the best elements of floral and
geometric design. Individual weavers of the Bidjar create rugs of
uncommon beauty and durability. This bold, yet graceful hybrid is a
carpet that is equally appropriate in a weekend retreat as it is in a city
apartment. The Bidjar is the ideal choice for the active home. Its
strength and vibrant energy will convey a warm, energetic welcome to
family and friends alike.
The Bidjar is characterized by design themes that are bold, yet graceful.
Many rugs have a central medallion motif and triangular corners
separated by a well-defined field. The field may contain a latticework of
small, repetitive forms calls Herati. One identifying characteristic of the
Bidjar design is its use of bold outlining between the design elements in
the carpet. The medallions are typically outlined with a broad band of
light colour. Borders usually have three stripes outlining geometric
forms or, more often, undulating vines and pendant leaves.
Colour defines the Bidjar. The colours in the rug are, more often then
not, masses of contrasting hues brought into harmony with an unerring
sense of balance. The rugs resonate with lustrous reds, blues, ivories,
greens with contemporary shades of yellow, light blue rose, and
chocolate. The creative use of colour enhances the sense of strength
and power of the Bidjar design.
The Bidjar is also a famously well-made rug, notable for its durability.
The foundation of the rug contains a weft of double thickness giving the
rug an added strength. Bidjar weavers use a good grade of coarse wool
to create a pile of medium length that is very firm to the touch. The
result is a rug that is as long-wearing as it is beautiful. The Bidjar will be
a stout and strong companion to your home furnishings. It will provide
you with comfort and magnificent beauty for a lifetime.
