About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bijar from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 162 x 110 cm (5'4" x 3'7"), a piece from a weaving tradition nicknamed the Iron Rugs of Persia for its exceptional density and its refusal to wear thin. Bijars are known for combining strong geometry with classic Persian floral work, and for a weight and firmness under the hand that few other rugs match.
What you see
The field is a deep navy-black, filled edge to edge with a fine floral lattice in miniature, so dense it reads almost as texture before it reads as pattern. Out of this dark ground rises a large stepped diamond medallion, built in three distinct layers: an outer ring in brick red and terracotta, a darker band inside it, and at the centre a luminous ivory core carrying its own small motif, a rug within a rug. A broad ivory border, patterned with red-terracotta rosettes and vine, runs around the whole piece and holds the dark field at a clear distance from the edge.
How it was made
This is hand-knotted by hand, in wool spun by hand over a cotton warp, at a density of 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre — high enough to carry that miniature lattice and the medallion's inner detail without either blurring into the next. The pile is clipped close, to 15 millimetres, which is what gives the pattern its sharpness and the surface its light sheen. It is this same tight, pressed structure that Bijar weavers are known for: the rug is too compact to fold and can only be rolled, and the same compactness is what lets it keep its edges crisp for decades of use.
At home
At this size the rug suits an entrance hall or a small study, somewhere it will be seen daily rather than only on occasion. The navy-black field takes daylight or its absence equally well, staying rich rather than dull, and the ivory medallion holds its glow in either. Underfoot it is dense, firm and substantial, built for a floor that gets walked on rather than admired from the doorway. Watch it through a change of light and the terracotta in the border and medallion is what catches first.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 162 × 110 cm (1.78 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre; across 1.78 m² that is roughly 450,000 to 570,000 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.
