Bijar rugs (Bidjar rugs) are counted among the best oriental rugs. Bijar rugs (Bidjar rugs) have a very dense hard pile. Antique Bijar rugs (Bidjar rugs) are very different from newer Bijar rugs (Bidjar rugs).

Bijar rugs (the 'Iron Carpet of Iran') are mainly woven by Kurds in Gerus and Afsha areas of Iran. Bijar rugs are unique in that they use two wefts making the carpet extremely heavy, stiff and durable. A thicker weft is beaten down tightly between rows of knots alongside a thinner weft in order to make the pile compact, so thick and dense that it stands vertically, preventing it from lying down. Bijar rugs are exceptionally tough, however, they should not be folded for transportation (they should be rolled) to prevent the tight foundation from cracking.
