This urban handwoven carpet, approximately 70 years old, is a valuable example of authentic Bijar rugs. Measuring 328 × 225 cm with an area of 7.38 m², it belongs to the category of fine seven-and-a-half-meter carpets. Its rectangular structure, appropriate weight, and dense 40-raj weave reflect the exceptional durability of this piece and Bijar’s reputation as the “iron rug of Iran,” a distinction rooted in the intense weft-beating technique applied to woolen wefts. The Lachak-Toranj design combined with the Herati (Mahi) motif creates a dynamic yet cohesive field, while the measured repetition of motifs adds notable visual depth. The dominant madder-red tone across the field and border produces a warm, powerful, and classic presence that has retained its identity over time. High-quality wool pile paired with cotton warp and weft ensures durability and a stable, well-set surface, making this carpet a lasting choice for formal spaces, large halls, and interiors grounded in authentic Iranian aesthetics.
