About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, a densely woven rug from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 302 x 206 cm (9'11" x 6'9"). Known as the Iron Rugs of Persia, the type is prized for a weave so tight it can only be rolled, never folded, and for exceptional durability. Here the classic diamond medallion composition appears in a warmer, more glowing red than Bidjars usually show.
What you see
The first impression is warmth: a glowing coral-red field rather than the deeper brick tones Bidjars usually carry. Across it runs a dense Mahi lattice, small floral forms repeating edge to edge, structured by the outline of one large diamond medallion. At its heart sits a second, smaller diamond in dark navy, packed with tiny rosettes, a medallion within a medallion. Ivory spandrels fill the corners, and a broad navy border, painted with pink, camel and sage palmette vines, closes the design with real weight.
How it was made
That layering is not only visual. Bidjars carry the densest knotting in the Persian tradition, and this piece has between 128,000 and 160,000 knots per square metre, tied by hand over months on a cotton foundation. That density is what lets the weaver render a medallion inside a medallion, and rosettes no larger than a fingernail, without losing their shape. The handspun wool pile is kept short, at 15 millimetres, pressed close so the surface feels fine and faintly ribbed.
At home
A rug this size suits a living room, under a seating group, or a dining table where its colour can be seen in full. The coral-red warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood or leather. Underfoot it is dense, firm and substantial, built for daily use rather than display. In changing light the navy heart deepens while the red around it seems to glow.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 302 × 206 cm (6.22 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 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 6.22 m² that is roughly 800,000 to 1,000,000 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.
