Often referred to as the “Iron Rugs of Iran,” Bijar rugs are celebrated for their resilience, thanks to their dense weaving and high-quality materials. This region has a rich history in rug-making, with techniques passed down through generations, resulting in unique patterns and styles typically featuring floral and medallion motifs.

The color palette includes shades of rusty red, beige, navy blue, brown, pink, olive green, dark red, wine red, and light brown, creating a vibrant yet harmonious aesthetic.
