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.
