About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar, also written Bijar, from the Kurdish region of western Iran, measuring 295 x 200 cm (9'8" x 6'7"). Bidjars are known across the trade as the Iron Rugs of Persia, prized for a structure pressed so dense that a finished piece cannot be folded, only rolled. This one carries that same weight and firmness in a classic red medallion design.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, filled edge to edge with the fine repeating Mahi pattern, small stylised florals set close like scales across the ground. Rising from the centre is a diamond medallion built in layers, red giving way to ivory, then navy, then a pale cream core, so the eye reads diamond within diamond rather than a single shape. Ivory spandrels mark the corners, and a broad navy border carries red and ivory palmette vines around the whole design.
How it was made
That crispness comes from the hand-knotting itself. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre on a cotton warp, this is among the densest weaving in the Persian tradition, tight enough that each layer of the medallion holds a sharp, clean edge. The pile is hand-spun wool, fifteen millimetres deep, giving the surface a slight sheen and a weight in the hand that is unmistakably Bidjar. Built this firmly, the rug does not loosen with use; it holds its pattern and shape for decades.
At home
Sized for a dining table or a living room seating group, this rug is meant to be seen in full. The brick red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor, while the navy border keeps the design anchored. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily life, its low pile catching the light differently as the day moves across it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 295 × 200 cm (5.90 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 5.90 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 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.
