About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar runner from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 287 x 83 cm (9'5" x 2'9"). Bijar, also written Bidjar, is nicknamed the Iron Rug of Persia for a density unmatched elsewhere in the Persian tradition, so tightly built that a piece this size can only be rolled, never folded, without damage to its structure.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, filled corner to corner with a fine diamond lattice in navy and black, each diamond centred on a small ivory or cream rosette. There is no medallion; the pattern simply repeats along the full length, a Mahi-derived design more often seen anchored around a centre. A wide navy border, carrying a floral vine in rust and cream with small notes of teal and mustard gold, frames the runner and reads noticeably darker than the field it encloses.
How it was made
The pile is wool with silk, knotted by hand over a cotton warp at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest a rug can be tied. Silk spins finer than wool, and a finer thread lets the weaver work more knots into the same space, which is what keeps a repeat this small holding its shape along the full 287 centimetres rather than drifting off true. At 15 millimetres the pile sits low and firmly packed, closer in the hand to a fine board than to something soft underfoot.
At home
A runner this size belongs in a hallway or on a landing, somewhere the eye takes it in lengthwise rather than all at once. The brick red keeps its warmth even where daylight is thin, and the dark border holds the pattern together against a pale floor or a dark one alike. Underfoot it is dense and firm, made to be walked on rather than kept for best, and the faint sheen in the silk shifts a little differently each time someone crosses it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 287 × 83 cm (2.38 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
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 2.38 m² that is roughly 1.1 to 1.2 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.
