Bijar Wagireh Sampler Rug– The wagireh or sampler is perhaps the most enigmatic of carpets. Made as a template or pattern for the carpet design and production of larger rugs, they are generally small pieces the size of a scatter rug or mat.
Rare Antique Bijar is Connoisseur-Caliber and is made of natural dyes, and fine wool. The small town of Bijar produces carpets that are known worldwide for their superb craft and fine materials. This small town and it’s surrounding villages are populated by Kurdish people who are known for their great craft and artistic ability. These grand carpets were often commissioned by Persian aristocrats and nobles. One distinguishing feature of these carpets are their heavy wool foundation.
