About This Bidjar

Where it comes from

This is a Bidjar runner, 247 x 78 cm (8'1" x 2'7"), knotted in the Kurdish regions of western Iran, an area whose rugs have earned the name Iron Rugs of Persia — also written Bijar — for a density and strength that few other weavings match. This piece carries that reputation in an unusually ordered form.

What you see

The field is ivory, filled edge to edge with a fine Mahi lattice in navy, pink, teal and dark green. Down its centre run three hexagonal medallions, evenly spaced and matched in size — a Seh Torandj sequence rather than the single medallion a Bidjar usually carries. The effect is a rhythm moving along the runner's length, set against the dense lattice around it. A wide red-ground border, filled with small geometric rosettes and closed by a black outer stripe, holds the whole pattern in place.

How it was made

Bidjar rugs carry the densest knotting in the Persian tradition, and this one holds 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, in wool with silk worked through the pile. Silk spins far finer than wool, so wherever it runs, the knot sits tighter and the line sharper — one reason the three medallions read as identical rather than approximate, even though the whole piece was knotted from memory rather than from a fixed plan. The pile is clipped to 15 millimetres and pressed flat, giving the crisp, even surface the type is known for. So compact is the weave that a Bidjar cannot be folded, only rolled.

At home

A runner this size belongs in a hallway or along a landing, somewhere you walk rather than sit, and it is built for exactly that use. In a corridor short on daylight, the ivory field lifts the space, while the red border and navy medallions hold their colour under lamp light as well as natural. Underfoot it is dense and firm, pressed flat by that tight knot, so it takes daily footsteps without concern. Where the light crosses it, the silk catches along the medallions, a quiet sheen moving with each step down the hall.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 247 × 78 cm (1.93 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 1.93 m² that is roughly 850,000 to 960,000 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.
