Description
Hello ebay shoppers, I dropped the price to sell this item. It is in excellent condition. The rug has a Certificate of Authenticity from Pars International, Inc dated 10/01/07 and at that time the value was $21,000.00, I'm sure the value has increased since then. The reason for selling is I was laid off and currently starting a small business. I need capital! More about the history of this rug. The iron rug of Persia, Bidjar carpets are very heavy and durable rugs usually woven by the Afshar weavers of Bidjar in Kurdistan. Herati motif is the most commonly used one in medallions as well as all over patterns. Other patterns can be geometric and curvilinear or a combination of the two. Navy, cherry red, brown, light blue, pink, yellow, ocher, orange, beige and ivory happen to be the most prevalent colors. Very high quality wool is used for tying the knots. Initially, even the base was woolen. Symmetrical Turkish knot is used. The process of weaving Bidjar rugs involves extensive hammering of the knots against the wefts thus making the carpet very tightly woven. More over the pile are longer than in the other types. These two things make the carpets very tight and heavy. The Bidjar rugs dare therefore never folded and if need be, only rolled. They are never woven in a workshop but in homes. This rug is over 80 years old and has 750 kpsi. It's 100% wool. Rug measurements: 6.07 x 9.11. Thank you for your time and interest. Enjoy the day, Madonna
