About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bijar, also written Bidjar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, measuring 238 x 178 cm (7'10" x 5'10"). The type has earned the nickname "the iron rugs of Persia" for a structure so dense and firm that the finished rug can only be rolled, never folded. Bijar work typically sets strong geometry against classic Persian floral pattern, and this piece leans further into the geometric side than most.
What you see
A near-black field carries a close, orderly grid of small floral bouquets, each one picked out in salmon-pink, rust-red, dusty blue-grey, cream and mustard against the dark ground. There is no medallion here; instead the flowers sit on a diamond lattice arranged in vertical columns, so the eye reads stripes as much as flowers, giving the field a graphic, almost printed rhythm rather than the softer, blurred look Mahi florals usually have. A multi-band border in rust-red and cream, its ground a scrolling floral vine, closes the field firmly and holds its own against the dark centre.
How it was made
This is hand-knotted, wool over a cotton warp, with silk worked through the pile — the silk takes a finer thread than wool, so the florets can be drawn with a sharper, cleaner edge than wool alone allows, which is a large part of why the pattern reads as crisply as it does against the near-black ground. The knot count runs to 441,000-500,000 knots per square metre, at the dense end of Persian weaving, and it is this density that gives Bijar its legendary compactness and its refusal to fold. At 15 mm the pile still has real substance underfoot, weight without softness.
At home
At 238 x 178 cm this suits a seating area in a living room, or the calmer footprint of a bedroom. Against pale flooring the near-black field grounds the room; beside dark furniture it holds its own rather than disappearing into it. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for a room in regular use rather than one kept for best. As light moves across it through the day, the silk in the florets catches first, and the columns seem to glow in sequence across the dark ground.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 238 × 178 cm (4.24 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 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 4.24 m² that is roughly 1.9 to 2.1 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
