The highest quality carpets from Persia include the carpets of Bidjar from the Kurdish part of Western Persia. The Provenience includes both coarse pieces from the villages Sanjan or Goltogh as well as very fine and accurately knotted quality carpets, which are commercially available under the name Afshar Bidjar, Tekap / Tekab Bidjar or Halvai (Halwai) Bidjar. Carpets from the town of Sanandaj (formerly Senneh) also belong to the Bidjar group, have similar motifs, but were previously knotted only with a weft thread between the rows of knots. As a result, old Senneh rugs in the handle looked soft and almost limp. Sanandaj of recent production are knotted with 2 weft threads between the rows of knots and the knots are compressed very much. This results in very dense, heavy and durable carpets.
