About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, a runner from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, 295 x 86 cm (9'8" x 2'10"). The type is known across the trade as one of the iron rugs of Persia, prized for a density of knotting that no other Persian tradition matches and for holding its shape and edge for decades. Most Bidjars fill a room floor to floor; this one runs the length of a hall.
What you see
The field is a deep navy, filled edge to edge with a fine Mahi lattice in the Herati manner, each diamond drawn small and set close against its neighbour. Down the centre of this dense ground run three medallions, cream and red, spaced evenly along the length and identical in drawing, so the eye moves with them rather than settling on any one point. A brick-red border carries the field, framed on each side by a cream floral guard stripe, with a plain black line closing the outer edge.
How it was made
That evenness owes as much to material as to drawing. The pile is wool blended with silk, and silk spins far finer than wool, so the weaver could pack more knots into the same square metre without the pattern losing its edge — here, between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre, a density normally kept for the finest Bidjar work. A cotton warp holds that knotting under tension, which is why the three medallions repeat without drifting, and why the surface, at 15 mm of pile, reads crisp rather than soft. It is also why a Bidjar can only be rolled, never folded, without harm to its structure.
At home
A runner of this length and density belongs in a hallway or along a landing, somewhere it will be walked rather than admired from a doorway. The navy ground holds its own against a dark floor and still warms a passage that gets little daylight, the brick border catching what light there is. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than a quiet room. Pass it morning and evening and the medallions catch you each time, marching ahead in exactly the same step as the day before.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 295 × 86 cm (2.54 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 2.54 m² that is roughly 1.1 to 1.3 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.
