About This Bidjar
Bidjar rugs come from the town of Bijar in Kurdistan Province, northwest Iran, and are famously known as the "Iron Rugs of Persia." Woven with the symmetrical (Turkish) knot on a cotton foundation with double weft, they undergo a unique wet-weaving technique: the wool is dampened during production and compacted with heavy metal combs, creating an extraordinarily dense, rigid structure.
The most common traditional pattern is the Herati (Mahi) motif, a flower with four leaves and small fish-like elements, often combined with medallion designs. The extreme density means Bidjar carpets cannot be folded, only rolled, and their pile stands firmly upright for decades.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 238 × 170 cm (4.05 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 4.05 m² that is roughly 0.8 to 1.0 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.
