About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar runner, also written Bidjar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, 201 x 74 cm (6'7" x 2'5"). Bijar has earned the name "the iron rug of Persia" for a density so tight at the loom that a piece can be rolled but never folded. This one carries that same iron structure under a field of unusually bright ivory, where the pattern is normally set on deep red or navy.
What you see
The first impression is of a dark, finely drawn lattice floating over pale ground rather than resting on it. Small rosettes and serrated leaf forms repeat edge to edge in the Mahi pattern, navy diamonds crossing the field with no medallion to anchor them, so the eye simply travels the length of the runner. Touches of teal, rust and dark plum sit inside the diamonds, close enough in tone to read as shadow rather than colour. A broad red border closes the design, its navy floral vine and small palmettes holding their ground against the ivory within.
How it was made
Bijar weavers work at a density few regions attempt, and this piece sits at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, closer to the packing of a fine city rug than to most tribal work, though it was knotted from memory rather than a drawn plan. The pile mixes wool with silk, and silk spins finer than wool, so it slips into tighter knots and leaves a faint sheen along the motif edges. Clipped to 15 millimetres over a cotton warp, the surface keeps those edges crisp rather than letting them blur into the ground, which is what gives the lattice its suspended, floating look.
At home
At just over two metres by under a metre, this is a runner for a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed, and the ivory field is reason enough to put it where daylight is scarce, since it lifts a dim corridor rather than vanishing into it. The red border holds firm against dark wood or a pale skirting alike. Underfoot it is dense and substantial, pressed tight in the Bijar way, and it is made to take daily traffic rather than be spared it. Walk past it as the light changes and the navy lattice shifts against the ivory, the silk catching quietly along the way.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 201 × 74 cm (1.49 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 1.49 m² that is roughly 660,000 to 740,000 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.
