No. 26562 – 273 × 253 cm
A Bijar- Garrus rug. Handspun wool, natural dyes.
Wool on a cotton base
Kurdish weavers of Bijar are renowned for producing compact and impeccably constructed rugs, so durable that they earned the reputation of “iron rugs” in the market. The piece shown here belongs to the older style of Bijar weaving, known as Garrus, a group celebrated for its natural dyes, refined patterns and remarkable longevity.
Such carpets can endure for decades without fail and grow more beautiful with time. Their enduring strength lies in their sound structure and, above all, in the use of the finest hand-spun wool and magnificent natural dyes. These traditions reach back thousands of years, inherited from their ancestors — the Medes, natives of eastern Mesopotamia on the western slopes of the Zagros Mountains — whose deep connection to nature shaped their materials, colours and aesthetic sensibilities.
