Kurdish carpets are often very strong and compact, hence they are extremely durable. For many carpet specialists the name Bidjar is a synonym for durability. The weavers use a heavy comb, made of metal and wood, at the weft and the knots, making the pile stand almost upright. This makes the surface of the pile very compact, which prevents gravel and other small particles from being pressed into the carpet. The carpets are made with Turkish knots and are usually red and blue with beige elements. This is a very high-quality carpet which is sometimes referred to as "the iron carpet of Persia" because of its extremely high lifespan and durability. The carpet is thick, very tight and is heavy, with an excellent quality wool.Please, take the time to study the carpet in detail and enjoy this work of art. Read More
