Bidjar carpet from western Persia,

Description

A predominantly Kurdish township in western Persia, Bidjar has had a long association with rug making. Bidjar carpets are of typically robust construction where the foundation warps and wefts are densely packed to give the carpets a ‘stiff’ handle. Whilst many large carpets were made here and in the surrounding villages, designs were not copied directly from cartoons as with large carpet production in urban workshops. The motifs were taken from samplers (wagireh) or passed down from generation to generation as part of the weaver’s repertoire. As a consequence Bidjars tend to display a much greater degree of vitality and spontaneity in their design and colour. 
The natural dyes are typically vibrant with the dominant colours, shades of red and blue,  obtained from the madder and indigo plants respectively.
