| Bijar |
| Bijar rugs are woven in the town of Bijar (an important center of rug production) and its surrounding villages, northwest of Iran. Bijar rugs are woven in the houses (and not workshops). Most common patterns is the herati pattern. Antique Bijar rugs were woven on wool foundation and had three weft strands between every row of knots, which made them very heavy and exceptionally durable. Modern Bijar rugs are typically double- wefted and have a cotton foundation. |
