About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, hand-knotted in the Kurdish region of western Iran, 308 x 204 cm (10'1" x 6'8"). Bidjars are known as the iron rugs of Persia, woven so densely that a finished piece can only be rolled, never folded, and they typically bring together strong geometry with classical Persian floral work. This one carries an unusual focal point at its heart, where the pattern normally opens onto plain ground.
What you see
A warm brick red carries the field, covered edge to edge in a fine Mahi lattice, small and crisply drawn throughout. Over this sits a large diamond medallion, and at its centre a smaller hexagon appears in navy, packed with tiny rosettes, so that the medallion opens onto a second, darker medallion rather than empty space. Ivory Mahi spandrels hold the corners in reserve, and a broad navy border, dense with pink and rust vine ornament, closes the composition firmly, taking up close to a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
That inner hexagon, scattered with rosettes small enough to miss at a glance, only holds together at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest counts in the Persian tradition and the reason Bidjar earned its iron name. The pile is hand-spun wool over a cotton foundation, pressed down hard at the loom rather than left open, and that pressing is what gives the surface its flat, compact hand and the pattern its unusually crisp edges. At 15 millimetres the pile sits low and dense, built to hold its sharpness rather than soften with wear.
At home
At 308 x 204 cm this rug suits a dining table or a living room seating group, large enough to hold its own under either. The brick red warms a pale floor and stands its ground against dark furniture, while the navy border keeps the whole composition anchored rather than spreading. Underfoot it is dense and substantial, a rug made for a room in daily use rather than one kept for best. As the light moves across it through the day, the tiny rosettes at the medallion's centre are the detail you keep returning to.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 308 × 204 cm (6.28 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 6.28 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.6 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.
