About This Bidjar

Where it comes from

This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, knotted by Kurdish weavers in the west of Iran and measuring 239 x 175 cm (7'10" x 5'9"). The type has long been called the iron rugs of Persia, a name earned by the densest knotting in the entire Persian tradition and by a body so compact it can only be rolled, never folded.

What you see

A deep brick red covers the field, filled edge to edge with a fine, repeating diamond lattice of fish-leaf rosettes, drawn so evenly that the eye finds no thinning and no drift across it. At the centre sits a sharply drawn star medallion in navy and cream, its pendants reaching toward the corners, where four quarter-medallions repeat its shape and colour exactly. A wide cream border carries dark-red and navy floral vine scrollwork between two thin navy guard stripes, holding its own against the red.

How it was made

That evenness comes from the knot count. Hand-knotted, this piece carries between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre, the densest range in the Persian tradition, packed onto a cotton warp so tightly that no motif can drift as the field grows. The pile is wool, lifted with silk through the medallion and border lines, since silk is finer than wool and holds a sharper edge. Clipped to fifteen millimetres, the surface sits tight and slightly flattened underfoot, substantial rather than plush.

At home

This is a rug for a seating area in a living room, or for the foot of a bed, seen whole rather than lost under furniture. The brick red warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than for show. As the light moves, the silk in the medallion catches first, then settles back into the red.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 239 × 175 cm (4.18 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.

Is this rug hand-knotted?

Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 4.18 m² that is roughly 1.8 to 2.1 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.

How do I care for this rug?

This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
