About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a hand-knotted Bidjar, also written Bijar, from the Kurdish region of western Iran, 285 x 198 cm (9'4" x 6'6"). The type is known across the Persian tradition as the iron rug, for a structure so dense and firmly pressed that it can only be rolled, never folded, and holds its shape through decades of hard use. This particular piece turns that density toward precision rather than force.
What you see
A rich brick red fills the field, carried by a large lozenge medallion in ivory and red against dark navy cornerpieces. Inside it sits a second, smaller diamond in cream, filled with fine floral work and flanked by small pendants. Around this the ground is packed with a dense Mahi lattice, its diamonds touched with olive, mustard, pink and burgundy. A wide ivory border frames it all, filled with red and navy floral scrollwork and closed by a slim red guard stripe.
How it was made
That fine detail rests on genuine density: 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, near the top of the Persian range, tied over a cotton warp with hand-spun wool sheared to 15 millimetres. That many knots to the metre is what keeps the lattice edges sharp and lets the nested medallion sit crisp rather than blur into the field. It is also what gives a Bidjar its name as the iron rug, and a floor most other weavings could not survive.
At home
At 285 x 198 cm this suits a dining table or a living room seating group rather than a hallway. The brick red holds its own under dark wood and warms a pale floor, while the ivory medallion keeps it from feeling heavy. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than careful stepping. In afternoon light the pink and mustard threads in the lattice catch first, and are what you keep noticing.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 285 × 198 cm (5.64 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 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 5.64 m² that is roughly 1.8 to 2.1 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.
