REZAS INDIAN RUGS
Bidjar Royal and Bidjar Indi
Indian weavers have taken the traditional Bidjar designs and created their own interpretations on the typical geometric patterns. These rugs feature the same robust,
dirt-resistant surface as their Persian counterparts but at more affordable price
points.
Bidjar Royal are more tightly knotted and have more sheen, giving a more exclusive
expression. They have knot densities of 250,000 – 350,000 knots per sqm.
The colours in Bidjar Royal and Bidjar Indi are mainly red tones with hexagonal
shapes, often with a medallion in the middle – surrounded by more hexagons. The
rest of the rug is adorned with flowers and bouquets. There is a difference in quality
between Bidjar Royal and Bidjar Indi, but it is hard for the average consumer to see.
