About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, a rug type from the Kurdish region of western Iran, here in 340 x 250 cm (11'2" x 8'2"). Known across the trade as one of the Iron Rugs of Persia, the type is prized less for ornament than for a construction so dense and firmly pressed that it can only be rolled, never folded.
What you see
The field is a deep, saturated madder red, warmer than the rust or ivory grounds this pattern more often carries. Across it runs an even, all-over Mahi lattice — stems and rosettes in the Herati repeat — with dark indigo threaded through the diamonds, so the red never sits flat. There is no medallion; the pattern simply continues, corner to corner. A wide ivory border closes the field, carrying a dark, serrated palmette vine with brown, olive and rust set into the cream ground.
How it was made
At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, this Bidjar carries more knots than almost any other Persian weave, each hand-knotted into a cotton foundation. The pile is handspun wool, clipped to about 15 millimetres; that closeness of knotting holds the lattice to its line, with no blurring at the diamond points. The construction is so tightly compressed it can only be rolled, never folded. Though newly made, it is woven to the standard that earned the type its name.
At home
This Bidjar suits a dining room beneath a substantial table, or a living room where furniture sits back from its ivory border. The madder red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor unaided. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use, and the slight sheen in the wool lets the red shift gently as daylight moves across the room.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 340 × 250 cm (8.50 m²) this is a very large rug. It carries a whole seating group with every furniture leg on it, or a dining table with the chairs pushed back. In a small room it becomes the floor rather than a rug.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 8.50 m² that is roughly 1.7 to 2.1 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
