About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar, also written Bijar, knotted in the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 242 x 171 cm (7'11" x 5'7"). Woven from memory rather than a drawn plan, on looms kept by Kurdish weavers whose rugs earned the name the Iron Rugs of Persia — pressed so densely at the loom that a piece like this can only be rolled, never folded.
What you see
The field is a deep navy, dense with a fine diamond lattice that keeps the eye moving without settling on one line. At its centre a lozenge medallion holds a small octagonal heart in warm cream and gold, glowing against the dark ground. Around it runs a broad rust-terracotta border, its floral vine dark and dense, closed by narrow guard stripes. Where this Mahi medallion often softens navy and rust into closer tones, here the two hold their own, each colour cleanly itself.
How it was made
That clarity rests on real density: 321,000–380,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest in the Persian tradition, enough to hold a fine lattice without blurring. The pile is hand-spun wool at 15 millimetres over a cotton warp, giving weight rather than softness, with a slight sheen where cream and gold catch the light against navy. This pressed structure is what earned Bijar its name as an iron rug — built to be rolled, not folded, and to keep its edges sharp for decades.
At home
This is a rug for a seating area or a bedroom, generous enough to anchor a sofa group or lie beneath a bed. The navy holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor, while the rust border keeps the whole piece grounded. Underfoot it is dense and firm, made for daily use, and the cream heart of the medallion is what the eye returns to in low light.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 242 × 171 cm (4.14 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 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 4.14 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.6 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.
