The story of Bijar carpets begins in the mountainous region of northwestern Iran, around the town of Bijar in Kurdistan, where weavers developed a tradition admired for its strength, balance, and timeless design. By the Safavid period, this style had become a respected part of Persian textile art, known for its disciplined structure and refined beauty.

Our Bijar rug is a modern hand-knotted interpretation woven in northern Afghanistan by master artisans who honor the weaving techniques and design language of historic Bijar workshops. It is crafted using high-mountain wool from sheep raised above 1,000 meters, where cooler climates produce fleece naturally rich in lanolin. This quality wool offers durability, a gentle natural sheen, and a resilient character well suited for everyday living.

Each rug is entirely hand-knotted, allowing subtle variations that give the piece its individual character. The designs blend floral and geometric elements, remaining true to classical Bijar aesthetics while reflecting the expressive hand of the weaver.

More than a decorative piece, this rug represents a quiet continuity of tradition, uniting Persian Bijar heritage with exceptional Afghan craftsmanship. It is a thoughtful choice for those who value authenticity, artistry, and enduring beauty.
