About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, the type of rug woven in the Kurdish regions of western Iran and known there as one of the Iron Rugs of Persia for a structure so dense it can only be rolled, never folded. This piece measures 224 x 139 cm (7'4" x 4'7"). Bidjars pair strong geometry with classic Persian floral drawing, usually in closely toned colour, and are prized above all for how long they last.
What you see
The first impression is a deep wine red, crossed by a dense lattice of navy diamonds in the old Mahi, or fish, pattern. At its centre an ivory hexagonal medallion sits crisply against the darker ground, flanked by small heart-shaped cream pendants and set within navy spandrels at each corner. A wide cream border, close to a fifth of the rug's width, carries red and navy palmettes and serrated leaves between narrow guard stripes, echoing the same clarity as the field.
How it was made
Bidjar weavers hand-knot from memory, yet reach a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest in the Persian tradition. That density keeps the ivory medallion and cream border sharply drawn, rather than blurring into the red ground as this design often does. The pile is hand-spun wool over a cotton warp, left at 15 millimetres, giving real weight and a matte, textured surface. Packed this tightly, a Bidjar can only be rolled, never folded, the same structure that keeps its pattern crisp for decades of use.
At home
This is a rug for a seating area or a bedroom, somewhere it is seen as a whole rather than crossed in passing. The wine red holds its own against dark wood or leather, and the ivory medallion lifts a room short on daylight. Underfoot it is dense and firm, made for daily use rather than for show. The lattice catches light differently through the day, while the medallion at its centre stays steady.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 224 × 139 cm (3.11 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 3.11 m² that is roughly 630,000 to 780,000 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.
