Bijar rugs are characterized by their unique weaving process, where the wool is wetted during weaving, allowing the pile to become extremely dense and durable as it dries and expands. This technique not only enhances the rug’s longevity but also its luxurious feel. The region is distinguished by its traditional motifs and intricate designs, reflecting a blend of cultural influences over centuries.
