Bijar Hand-knotted Nvy/Rd Rug - 10' x 14'3 (India)
From the ancient deserts of Iran, through the mystical sands of time, comes this intricately woven Bijar rug. Though woven in India, the pattern of these beautiful rugs hails from the northern part of Iran, specifically the provinces of Gilan, Bijar, Zanian and Mazandaran--areas rich in history. These immaculate designs were originated by nomadic peoples and feature strong Turkish and Kurdish influences. The Bijar pattern has been passed from generation to generation for nearly 3000 years. Master Worldstock weavers in India have managed to replicate this pattern, using the same traditional techniques as their Iranian counterparts. These rugs tend to have several minor borders and many traditional motifs. This pattern boasts a navy background and red border; with accents of grey, salmon, ivory and green, it really ties a room together. Add the beauty and enchantment of ancient cultures to your home decor with Worldstock's huge selection of hand-woven rugs. Slight variation in the color and designs in each piece is normal in handmade rugs. Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly.
