About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar rug from the Kurdish region of western Iran, 257 x 165 cm (8'5" x 5'5"). Weavers here knot from memory rather than from a drawn plan, working freehand on a portable loom, and the type has earned itself a nickname few other rugs carry: the Iron Rugs of Persia, prized for a density and weight that outlasts almost anything else in the Persian tradition. What sets this piece apart within that tradition is how precisely the memory-work has come out.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, covered edge to edge by a fine navy trellis of Mahi, or Herati, drawing, tight enough that the red only shows through in narrow channels between the lines. At the centre sits a large lozenge medallion in cream, and the four corner spandrels pick up the same cream and red almost exactly, so the eye reads a symmetry across the whole field that freehand work rarely delivers this cleanly. A broad navy-black border carries red and cream palmette scrollwork, closed off by a plain red outer band, the two together running to roughly a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
That density is not just a visual effect but a structural fact: at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, this is among the tightest knotting done anywhere in the Persian tradition, and it is what allows the navy lattice to stay this fine and this exactly placed against the red. The pile is wool with silk brought through the flowering, giving the drawing a slight sheen where the light catches it and a crispness pure wool alone would not hold. Bijar construction is pressed so hard and so compact that the finished rug cannot be folded, only rolled, and it is this same density that lets it hold its edges and its form underfoot for decades of use.
At home
At this size the rug suits a seating area in a living room, or a quieter role in a bedroom, and its weight of colour will hold its own against dark wood or warm a pale floor without effort. Underfoot it is dense, firm and substantial, a rug built to be walked on rather than kept for best, and well suited to a room that sees daily life rather than a room that sees no one. As the light moves across it through the day, the cream medallion and spandrels catch first, and it is that quiet flare of pattern, more than the colour, that keeps drawing the eye back.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 257 × 165 cm (4.24 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 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 4.24 m² that is roughly 1.9 to 2.1 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.
