About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
Bijar rugs come from the Kurdish highlands of western Iran, and the trade has always called them the Iron Rugs of Persia. This one measures 199 x 156 cm (6'6" x 5'1"), a size built for a bedroom or a smaller seating corner, and it belongs to a weaving tradition famous for one thing above all: it is packed so tightly that it can only ever be rolled, never folded.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, filled edge to edge with a fine, small-scale Mahi lattice, the fish-and-rosette pattern repeating without a break. Out of that density rises a bold lobed medallion in navy and ivory, and the same drawing reappears, matched almost exactly, in all four corners — a mirrored composition that gives the whole field a calm, settled symmetry rather than the busier, more restless look Bijar patterning often has. A wide navy border carries dense floral scrollwork around it, held in by a narrow cream guard stripe, and the contrast between that dark border and the red ground gives the rug a firm, legible edge.
How it was made
That calm symmetry is no accident of drawing alone; it sits on top of one of the densest structures in the Persian tradition, at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre. Wool forms the body of the pile, but silk is worked through it, and because silk spins so much finer than wool it allows the knots to be packed tighter still, which is exactly why the pattern holds its edges so crisply rather than blurring at the outline. A cotton warp underneath and a 15 mm pile give it real weight in the hand, the kind of construction that is pressed rather than simply woven.
At home
Underfoot it feels dense, firm and substantial, a rug built to be walked on rather than kept for best. In a bedroom the red warms bare boards and pale walls without overwhelming them, and against darker furniture the navy medallion holds its own rather than receding. Wool with silk running through it catches light with a soft, low sheen, so the medallion seems to shift gently as you cross the room, never showy, always present.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 199 × 156 cm (3.10 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 3.10 m² that is roughly 1.4 to 1.6 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.
