About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar, also written Bidjar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, measuring 229 x 172 cm (7'6" x 5'8"). Bijars are knotted from memory by hand, in deliberately irregular repeats, and have earned the nickname "the Iron Rugs of Persia" for a density and weight that few other Persian types attempt.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field edge to edge, with no medallion to draw the eye to a centre. Instead a fine diamond lattice repeats across the whole surface, each diamond holding a small ivory rosette or a serrated leaf in the Mahi style. Dusty rose, olive and camel sit quietly within the red, never competing with it. A broad navy border of palmettes and vine closes the design, with a slim ivory guard stripe just inside it, framing the border in a second line.
How it was made
That evenness comes from an unusually tight knot: 321,000 to 380,000 per square metre, the densest count in the Persian tradition. Wool carries the colour, but silk runs through the pile too, and because silk spins finer than wool it lets the weaver draw the small rosettes and leaf edges with real precision. The pile stands 15 mm deep, firm underfoot, and the whole structure is so compact that a Bijar is rolled rather than folded, which is also why it wears so evenly over decades.
At home
A rug this size suits a living room, placed under a seating group rather than a large table, and the brick red holds its own against dark wood or pale floors alike. Underfoot it is dense and firm, made for daily use rather than display. The silk in the pile catches the light as you cross the room, so the navy border and ivory rosettes seem to shift through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 229 × 172 cm (3.94 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 3.94 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 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.
