About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar, also written Bijar, comes from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, 299 x 199 cm (9'10" x 6'6"). It is the densest of all Persian knotting traditions, pressed so tight that a piece this size cannot be folded, only rolled. Weavers there built their reputation on rugs that outlast the room around them.
What you see
A warm brick-red field carries the eye first, filled edge to edge with a fine diamond lattice in scattered pink, olive, mustard and steel blue. Set on it is a large hexagonal medallion, and inside that medallion sits a second, smaller one in dark navy — a rug within a rug, giving real depth where most Bidjars show only one flat shape. Ivory spandrels, patterned with the same lattice, hold the medallion in place at the corners. Around it all runs a wide navy border of polychrome palmettes and vines, framed by narrow ivory and red guard stripes that pull the whole field into focus.
How it was made
This precision comes from the density of the knotting: 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest a rug can be made. Hand-spun wool, less even than machine-spun yarn, was pulled taut over a cotton warp knot by knot, and it is that tightness which lets the nested medallion keep its sharp outline rather than blur into the lattice around it. The result is a low, tight pile, fifteen millimetres deep, that lies flat and substantial in the hand rather than soft — the same weight that gives Bidjars their name as the iron rugs of Persia.
At home
At this size the rug sits comfortably under a dining table or in front of a sofa group, and the brick-red field holds its own against dark wood or pale oak floors alike, without asking the rest of the room to compete. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for a room that gets used rather than one kept for show. As the light moves through the day, it catches the navy of the two medallions differently from the red around them, so the eye keeps finding the smaller hexagon inside the larger one, as though the rug had more to show than its first impression let on.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 299 × 199 cm (5.95 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre; across 5.95 m² that is roughly 1.5 to 1.9 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.
